Ever since I was a child, I’ve been drawn to the beauty of nature which has lead to a lifetime of collecting rocks. Yes. Rocks.
I look at unusual, textured hunks of stone (and sometimes shells) the way most people might gaze at billowing white clouds in a summer sky: as sources of inspiration and fantasy. Some of my most prized rocks are descriptive enough to suggest natural forms but abstract enough to leave actual interpretation to the viewer’s imagination. Everywhere I go is an opportunity for rock-hunting. Whether I’m hiking in the woods or along a beach, my eye is drawn to the rocks in my path, noticing shapes, colors, textures and sizes. This artwork depicts a few of the rocks I’ve collected over the years — each with their own story to tell.
