This suite of works draws its inspiration from the forest, the trees, branches and clutter found in a natural forest. The conversations I refer to reflect recent discoveries about how trees communicate with each other. Through their roots, they exchange information useful to their development and survival. The older trees protect the younger ones and help them to grow.

My paintings are an invitation to return to the silence of the forest and listen to the trees. You won’t hear words, but you’ll feel the soothing effect if you pay attention for a while.
