“My paintings are derived from nature. I use the elemental processes in nature as the basic form of expression dealing with the mystery of the world that is unexplainable and spiritually derived. These paintings depict the forces of earth, wind, fire and water in conflict but also in harmony. These are not specific areas but are inspired by Hawaii and imagined spiritually.”
