This image is exploring the human connection to nature and the spiritual or mythical dimensions of existence. The interplay between symbolic figures, abstract forms and natural elements (zebra) suggests a narrative of balance, transformation or self-discovery in a surreal and timeless space. My work always begins Intuitively and spontaneously. I often use the iChing after completion to help me interpret what I have created.

Bio
The world is seen in layers, stacking colors and ideas, shapes and patterns onto each other as if one were walking through their day with blurred vision, not taking in specifics but piecing together various parts and overlapping them, sensing what’s all around us that we often miss when caught in our thoughts. What develops is another realm of existence expressed through tonality, textures and sounds. My composite images attempt to unveil the interaction I experience with all things. It’s photography that evolves organically and intuitively. It's healing through creativity.
