“A tree is a powerful symbol. It can represent protection and wisdom, personify a human being or teach us about our past. A tree has been used for centuries in many cultures as a symbol of hope and connection with the divine. Its branches outstretch like nurturing arms bearing fruit to give new life. Its roots dig deep within the soil affirming its rich history. We grow as a tree does, planting ourselves firmly in the ground of modern society and evolving with the ever-changing seasons. My most recent work focuses on the various metaphors a tree provides. I have combined the abstract nature of cumulus clouds, my favorite subject matter, with the structure of a tree to create a visual mystery.”
