Artist Statement
I’m fascinated by the grace and flowing elegance of the day-to-day elements of the world, and the power that they have to elicit deep emotions and feelings of connectedness within us. They offer me a context to meditate on the mysterious connection with that flowing energy, and at the same time, the feelings of somehow being out of place in the midst of it. I enjoy the challenge of using the tools of my craft to put visuals to that mystery.
