Statement
My motivation to create is driven by an impulse to express and capture the emotional truth of an idea, a place or a time.
Since 2015, living aboard a boat for months at a time has inspired my subject matter as well the need to develop alternative techniques with both paint and substrates. The proximity to nature in its largest forms such as oceans and mountains has a profound impact on my body of work.
My ongoing goal is to communicate the restorative power of nature to rebuild tired brains and heal them, based on the knowledge that neuroscientists are currently in the process of examining this concept. Richard Fernandes, the former executive coach at Google speaks to having an internet compass, and the need to balance the capabilities that technology offers with qualities of the lives that we live offline, words that resonate deeply with me.
By exploring the surrounding environment in an abstracted way, my goal is to deconstruct to the extent the meaning shifts and the viewer is invited to embrace the realms of their imagination.
