About my work
Many people seek connection in a world that feels increasingly isolating. I want my art to spark a visceral experience that offers connection through the solidarity of mortal beings nourished with the joy of being alive.
I find inspiration in the beauty of nature, discarded things, darkness and light. Channeling a moment or feeling, my hand seeks poetic lines to capture emotions and present them to my audience for their own interpretation.
I create art to express what words cannot.
“Tangled Up In Dreams”
The stone lithograph “Tangled Up In Dreams” evolved organically to tell a stream of consciousness story.
As I drew, I imagined the subject immersed in a potentially dangerous dream world. Her hair grew long, curling around limbs and floating upwards. In the background are faces, limbs, and claws. Are these hints of threats? Protection?
I wanted this to be ambiguous. I invite the viewer to project their own desires or fears.
