Nature acts as a representative aspect in my otherwise abstract work. The preservation of our environment and appreciation for nature reveals itself through my choice of materials and form, be that from using recycled objects to their organic shapes. Each work asks the viewer to stretch their imagination and invites their curiosity in a struggle to identify the marks, engaging in the creative process through the act of exploration of the Art.


In a world that wants quick sound bites, these works are complicated. They have multiple layers not only in their process, but in their topics of conversation and conceptual ideas. I am fascinated by that “in-between”, creating work that is somewhere in the middle of painting and sculpture, craft and fine art, masculine and feminine, even abstract and representational.
