about

Often reflecting on humanity's tumultuous relationship with Nature (our home/our selves), the con(temporary) world, and the never ending transformation of all things, my art comes from an intuitive process open to constant development through both intentional and unintentional, though usually unconventional, interactions with my self and the world.

With no attachment to preconceived ideas, techniques or tools, things begin without sketches and are called done based on feeling, but seemingly finished work has the potential to continue on at any time, with pieces usually being drastically changed as connections once found in them no longer feel relevant, or sometimes for no apparent reason at all.
