Artist Statement
My work is a result of a love for color and the effects light has on it. The process, inspired by the infinite visual and audible stimulation of my surroundings, begins with intuitive reactions that are conceptualized with design. As a painter, photographer, and sculptor, I work to bridge abstract and representational imagery. Often my work is a narrative of modern-day environmental issues, social justice concerns, and the abundant beauty that nature provides.
Whether standing at the easel, behind the lens, or facing a block of clay, I instinctively focus on forms and compositions. Patterns, lines, and movements are integrated to create a visual representation of my thoughts. Often the result is not as planned as the subject and medium take precedence over intuition. Within this process, the intellectual path is found, and the visual narration is realized. For me, it is a journey, a balancing of many elements that eventually reveal a methodical arrangement of disrupted energies. This is my comfort zone.
