  4. Written Description of the Work Reacting to the environment has always encompassed a threshold in which to form art. Grasping onto sites in nature that stirs an inner desire to draw, paint and photograph keeps me drawing, painting and photographing and planning future work. Striving to learn all the means necessary to convey emotional expressions, have been found in a closeness to trees and leaves and their struggles and successes to survive; it has been a meaningful focus. My work touches on the fragile details that are inspired by these elements of survival. Especially in Brooklyn, there are moments in the images that I see that reflect nature’s juxtaposition in its compressed competition with architecture. The desire to burst the barrier of that split second of profound observation finds me wanting to conquer that distant view and wish to capture that spirit. Keeping working with an open spirit to an unconscious flow to the meaningful aspects of life and being alive, somehow guides me in the pieces I am now doing. Wanting to become even closer to nature in a response to its source finds me covering the surface with views of nature that lure me into itself. Beyond the sense of gravity and unrestricted by association, the individual elements poses their own inner strength. There remains motionless a small paradise to be discovered.
