“Everything I create has come from the overflow of a sacred moment in nature. Monochrome color palettes are my way of expressing how a single second of observing nature deeply can be enough inspiration to last for years. I will never forget the first moment I truly took in the power of a rushing Colorado river and the multitude of blue hues that would move throughout it - never creating the same shape twice. That’s what creativity is to me.”
