Hidden Farm

In my personal work in the visual arts, I have focused for the last decade on pastel painting. I find natural objects very engaging. There is so much to see when the sun shines on a piece of fruit or washes across a field. For me, the shadows are as important as the light, by providing both contrast and the mystery of what is hidden. Soft pastels, in combination with various papers such as sanded and textured supports, have allowed me to explore these everyday objects and portray their energy and vitality.
