Nature is my springboard. From her I get my initial impetus. I have tried to relate the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms. ↗

Because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge
Unable to step out into the sky
Like that fearless flower
