About the artist

"I draw ancient trees, sometimes as large, isolated portraits and sometimes buried in the enduring landscape.

 The portraits are detailed renderings celebrating all the gnarly protrusions, textures, and anomalies of bark, the smaller works tell stories by incorporating historical newspaper collage and a cut paper root system, so both the trunk and the fungal network beneath can be imagined.

The trees are a metaphor for all I hold dear, I draw with a reverence for the natural world, inspired by “these penetrating preachers,*” letting them teach that everything alive is connected and it is not about competition but cooperation.

*From a quote by Herman Hesse."
