CV

I feel a profound kinship with the natural world that surrounds me. The natural world captivates and mystifies me; as such, this work springs from a place of love and a feeling of tender connection. I create abstracted, graphic representations of plant, celestial, and elemental forms to reflect on this kinship and to ask questions about the connections between various aspects of the physical world. Representations of this tender connection move between abstract visualizations of natural phenomena to moments of communion in landscape. Works grounded in space provide an opportunity to enter into a meditative moment with the landscape presented, while abstract interpretations of natural phenomena encourage the viewer to meditate on ideas of symbiosis and the exchange of energy among ecosystems.
