“Part of what influences me is societal relationships with the natural world. I wish to illustrate, that balance can be had in our exchanges with nature and to encourage a search for those connections.

I strive to understand the universe, by revealing, analyzing and capturing moments.

I am constantly thinking about perspective and how to concisely catalogue and present ideas. From loneliness to resilience, I find that humanity and my personal history seeps into the paint.

At the beginning of every piece I focus on inserting emotion and motion and then work on top of those layers, imbuing the realities of our changing external and emotional scapes.”
