Through painting and creating my mineral specimen based figures, I hope to
share the pleasure I receive from the process. Whether standing in an expanse
of grassland, in the splendor of a canyon, or on the reed-bordered shores of a
lake, I look for the vignette that communicates the scene. Sometimes it is an
expansive panorama, sometimes the center of a flower, sometimes the
abstract design of the shapes and colors.

The natural mineral specimens I use to portray angel or butterfly figures
embody the natural beauty found in our world. I hope to use a little piece of it to
share my wonder at the magnitude of the forces required to create this beauty.
