In my work, I combine a love of nature with a meticulous attention to detail.  Realistic environments blend with flowing, semi-abstract shapes to suggest not just the reality but also the emotional draw of nature.  I emphasize small features, inviting the viewer to get close and look several times.  I use a variety of creative techniques to combine interior design with surface features so that the viewer is enticed into the depth of the design.
