Though I have never tied myself to specific media, current work over time focuses on the exploration of natural materials gathered through walks, ground with a pestel and mortar, uing a mix of experimentation and apothecarial precision or boiled into dyes. Natural fillers re then added to make paint from pigments. I also use botanical specimens in my work.
Expression of the passion of the natural environment is paramount and whatever media manifests the sensory presence of the physical, emotional and spiritual reality is equally significant.
