the big thing that I’m trying to do with
my work is give a chance for people to
connect with that landscape to cultivate
a deeper understanding and hopefully
inspire them to make a difference
I am I just kind of disappeared into the
color and the form and the shape and
tone and it’s not even an iceberg or a
wave that I’m drawing at that point
because I’m up so close it’s just these
colors and I’m so focused on the work
that somehow everything else dissolves
into the background
being out in nature is certainly what
gives me perspective to be reminded of
how small we are in the grand scheme of
the universe and it means the whole
world to just see the ocean and look at
its fastness and like right this is this
is what life’s about
I find it important with my art to
represent the beauty in the landscape
because I think that helps people fall
in love with it more easily but my
challenge is to try to find that balance
between the beauty of the landscape but
also representing the negative aspects
of what’s happening
by my mom round as a child all over the
world was something that inspired me to
be an artist we would spend about a
month every summer traveling around
while she photographed and my sister and
I would you know bring sketchbooks along
in our own little cameras and help her
with her work carrying her equipment and
helping her compositionally at least
that was something I did she certainly
left me with this huge gift one of those
was to take the trip to Greenland in
honor of her I never would have done
something like that on my own
I was scattering her ashes just amidst
the ice in Greenland she asked to be
there and it just made perfect sense
especially when I was there putting her
ashes amidst these little like crackling
melting pieces of ice and and then
thinking about how do you say goodbye
but just put things in perspective for
me and helped me move through that
process
yeah I’m really grateful for those times
when I just have to check out just
allows you to really focus on nature and
take a deep breath of this like
delicious clean air and look at the
iceberg floating by and and it just lets
everything settle and slow down and
reminds me what do I want to spend my
time doing and that’s important to me it
is important to believe that our little
actions make a difference and that they
count the work that I’m doing is not
gonna solve the climate crisis but
hopefully it will help you know
hopefully it’ll play a part no matter
how small that is we’re all here on this
planet together and it’s important to do
what we can in this lifetime it’s short
and sweet
and we’ve better make the most of it
you
