Printmaker / Painter / Mixed-Media
The art of Biotropicalism is an expression of wonder towards the natural world. I am inspired through the study of natural sciences and the stunning forms found in biology, geology and astronomy. In creating my art, I work to translate these captivating images into a visual chorus of color and composition, meant to strike an emotional chord in the eyes of the viewer.
