About this artwork
One of the most amazing things about nature is how personal it is – how much it can fire up the individual imagination, and function as a metaphor for growth and change.

Each drawing is a slightly different in composition and color. Drawn on large sheets of Stonehenge paper, the process is very labor intensive, taking about 3 months to complete. I use up hundreds of colored pencils, building up layers of color to achieve intensity and rich tonality. At a distance their surfaces appear unified, but go up close and you'll see they’re really composed of many small marks merged into a smooth sheen. I use bold colors for their power to evoke sensations, and elicit an emotional response from the viewer.
