Oatmeal and a cup of green tea.

What is fertiliser for your work?

My work is often inspired by time spent with my partner in gardens and arboreta.

Which place is missing you?

Growing up in Minnesota I spent time near the Canadian border.  I’d like to return there someday, and make paintings of the landscape.  Seeing the aurora borealis has had a lasting effect on me.
