Nature provides unlimited inspiration for Abstract Art...

Standing in my studio during this late morning transition, I find myself captivated by the way the spring light reveals the intricate, weathered patterns on the bark of the fallen tree I am studying intensely. The natural fractures and organic layers are the ultimate blueprints for the palette-knife sculpting and ink-wash texturization techniques I deploy in my painting practice.

As I prepare a new series of Canadian Wildlife works, I am reminded that the 'impossible-to-copy' depth we strive for in our family dynasty is often just a reflection of the patience found in the wild. It is a humble feeling to realize that even after many years in the spotlight of music and fashion, my greatest teacher remains the quiet growth of the forest. I hope you all find a moment today to look closely at something beautiful and let it change your perspective.
