“There is an unexplainable draw for me towards the way nature lives within a forceful contrast of gentle, life-giving beauty and raw, wild strength. Whether it is the way that a tree grows out of a rock, or the way wind shapes the weary trees, I am just mesmerized by these natural juxtapositions, and the strength and beauty found in the persistence of nature. It is a constant reminder to me to press on, and never give up; for beauty emerges here. Life seems to come into perspective when among the elements and I feel closer and more connected to my Creator.
I love working with mediums that allow for happy accidents and uncontrollable elements. The fact that there is beauty in the things that cannot be controlled reminds me to hope in the God that holds the world in His hands, to embrace the unexpected and persevere until something beautiful emerges.”
