Making art is my greatest form of escapism. Although often hard work, it is for me like a portal into another world where I envision a better place than where we are. Whether working on an abstract landscape, the details of an intricate leaf, or on a fantastical tree of life, I get to be in that place of beauty for as long as I’m painting.
