Meditations on Water is a study of the universal temperament of water, as well as the environmental effects of light, color, and perception. My belief in the restorative power of water, informs and inspires my work. The images are also influenced by my interest in the sublime aspects of nature. The elements of nature that consistently remind me there is always something else, much greater than oneself.
