Forestry in Motion is a collection of works reflective of my fascination of foliage in the fall. Motion, mystery, and magic are created through deliberate entanglements of brushstrokes and color combinations. My goal is to bring a smile to people's faces when they look at my work. I would like viewers to escape, if even for a brief moment, into my romantic world.
