Artist Statement
Although much of my work is comprised of a variety of media there is a common thread of the narrative throughout. For me, the act of creating art is a connection- to the past, to nature, to others, to beauty and to spirit. The art work is the story, however obscure, that ties these elements together, weaving pieces of my life in a collection of visual stories. Finding beauty in the small insignificant things, living with a sense of awe and gratitude at the infinite potential of nature- in essence to see the world with the eyes of a child, that is my goal as an artist. These common human experiences inform the content of each piece of artwork. I strive to make work that resonates with viewers, giving each piece a presence beyond the physical limitations of the materials.
