Artist Statement
I make art to make sense of things.
Part of my work is the work of making sense of how combinations of materials, techniques and processes merge to enhance or explore a theme or a question as document of place, space, a moment in time, a memory, nostalgia, discovery.
My process is informed by a sense of reverence for the natural world. My paintings exaggerate scenes and patterns from nature, using bold, misplaced colors and subtle distortions of perspective from time and memory. I work to explore both the visible world as well as inner landscapes, physical, metaphysical and philosophical – often at the same time. My goal is to lean on the subtle sense of awe and nostalgia within the intricacies of nature, to make sense of the process and the materials and to honor, celebrate and expose that shared sense of wonder.
