Seeing place as sacred is a process of reflection and determination that goes beyond nostalgic memory.

At face value,my paintings may seem a bit nostalgic, but the work celebrates place as a sacred space that is related to time, place, and above all a reflective perception of the place that is meditative. This meditative process comes from the slow and time-consuming process of painting, or sculpting.
