Artist Statement
As a painter, I like to create images that stir something inside me. I start with information and turn it into expression, using scale to create a sense of smallness as a person and their place in the world. In my current work, I draw influences from nature, empathy, and change. These are all themes that I would like to be more in tune with both my personal and professional lives. I am interested in what happens when greed intersects with moral obligation.
I hope my art serves as a gentle reminder that all life is beautiful and should be protected. The characters I try to bring to life are trying to find a place in their world just as we are trying to understand our place in ours.
