Artist Statement
My work is a layered exploration of the places I have lived and explored. I try to capture the intricate interplay of patterns, textures, movements and shapes that define the sensory grace of the natural environment.
Through mixed media and digital collage and sculpture, I strive to honor the dignity of both the micro and macro landscapes as they cycle through time and seasons.
I invite the viewer to look closely and notice the rhythms and transitions that shape the world around us.
