ARTIST’S STATEMENT

All aspects of our lives are interconnected. That connectedness gives a sense of who we are and what is important. I feel I have an obligation to communicate in an accessible manner through my art on current matters of importance as I see it. I am looking to bring to the forefront a heightened awareness of issues and possibilities. In a philosophically optimistic way, I hope to find alternative ways to provide perspective on a subject, whether it be of a most intimate nature or of greater public import.

My work aims to move the viewer, to access their personal space and help to find a certain peaceful resolution to an issue. My techniques are explorative, reactive, courageous and sensual, aiming for viewers to enjoy a concentrated visual experience and come away with a response to an idea, an impression or feeling that becomes important to them. I hope to connect and present a notion to the observer that can then be resolved with a hopeful message.
