Throughout my life I have found comfort in the woods. The secrets that are held within,
and the quiet strength of the mighty pine tree. It is everything that I wish to be: it can be burnt
down to ashes and come back even stronger, withstand the most powerful winds, and through
it all, it stays firmly rooted in place.

Throughout my life I have found comfort in the woods. The secrets that are held within,
and the quiet strength of the mighty pine tree. It is everything that I wish to be: it can be burnt
down to ashes and come back even stronger, withstand the most powerful winds, and through
it all, it stays firmly rooted in place.
I have been told many times that because I was born with no hands, I would be unable
to achieve certain things in my life, however, I have found that to be completely false. Painting
is a way of revealing to myself that to have strength, I must first experience pain.
The landscape itself may not be seen as having much value, just as I have been judged.
Those opinions do not define who I am. It’s ok to be different, in fact, I encourage it.

My influences have ranged from Van Gogh to Thomas Kinkade until finally settling back on my first influence: Claude Monet. I have always been fascinated by the Impressionist movement - the way they can take pretty much anything and make you feel such intense emotions while only giving just enough information. I think it walks a beautiful line between too much and too little. I strive to take inspiration from the Impressionists while putting my own contemporary twist on my influencers from long ago.
