The synergy series is an ongoing body of work integrating art with science, nature, pharmaceuticals, x-rays, medical supplies and devices, microscopy, and illness and disease. Synergistic activities are a combination of microscopic, scientific, pharmaceutical, radiologic, and images from nature and the healing professions.

My goal for creating the synergy series is to capture the communion existing between the sciences, nature, illness and disease, and the human spirit. For my purposes, beauty is not synonymous with art; however, beauty may be experienced and visualized in an impalpable way, such as hope, healing, optimism, empathy, courage, forgiveness, compassion, and triumph. The series focuses on the experiences illness and disease impart upon us. These paintings convey the strength of the human spirit when faced with our illnesses, diseases, tragedies and fragilities. They symbolize a celebration of life.
