Artist Statement

For me, art should be visually appealing as well as interesting.

I view art making as a form of communication, a visual language that is meant to convey ideas and stimulate imagination.

Through my work I am addressing the way things grow, live, receive support from the environment, decay, and ultimately start again. The features that are produced through these actions are the source of my visual vocabulary.

The subtle details found in the natural world, the cyclical quality of life, and the way nature interacts with human society are the topics I generally work with.
