Nature provides us with everything necessary to maintain our health and well-being. This creation helps us define our direction and purpose in life so one can become a better person. I love to study nature and all its lessons.

After researching many styles of artistic expression, I found Sumi-e (ink painting) to be an art form that is especially honest with nature. Sumi-e captures the spirit or essence of a subject (called Chi) in just a few purposeful brush strokes. The result is a strikingly elegant image that is quiet, peaceful and direct.

These compositions have an energy that forces one to slow down and grasp an understanding of life right here and now, at this very moment in time. This simplicity can comfort and remind one that enlightenment can be found in nature’s lessons and in the common things in life.
