My work is inspired by both nature and the natural materials used in its creation. My desire to explore the atmospheric conditions of light on a landscape, the complexity and randomness of trees and their limbs and light streaming through them is well represented using techniques of traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking, monotype and more recently, the medium of oil pastel.
