Artist Statement
My interest in capturing and sharing the beauty I find in Nature might be summed up by words of the English mystical poet William Blake, who wrote in the early nineteenth century:
​
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
