My artwork often explores the space between our inner selves and our lived experiences, serving as a mediator; tantalizing the viewer with a sense of undulating tension and triumph. My works delve into felt human experience, investigating a wide variety of subject matter. Visceral thoughts and feelings communicate through the language of visual information, celebrating light, shape, and at times a nuanced symbolism.
My artwork is created in celebration of the understanding that
individual viewing experiences differ infinitely, and this artwork is presented in the hopes that viewers may contemplate their viewing experience with curiosity and discernment.
