These paintings celebrate Nature's vast and abundant riches in all of their splendor and magnificence. Focusing on exotic animals and birds set in a garden of paradise, they can take the intuitive viewer on a shamanic journey into the depths and more mysterious aspects of the jungle. Nature is God's direct creation, and in this time of advanced electronic technology it is imperative that we all return there, at least to remind ourselves of its wonders.
The word Nature derives from the ancient Egyptian word 'neter' spelled NTR (since they didnt write the vowels) and has survived using this same three-letter structure in all western languages. It gives rise to the word 'natural' which literally means something 'of nature', and everything natural works in complete harmony with the cosmic laws of the universe, also known as the laws of Nature, and we can often forget that we, too, are creations of Nature. So one dimension of getting back to Nature is getting back to your Self in human form - and then connecting with the miraculous world that surrounds us.
