Artist Statement
I explore existence as a multi-dimensional life-force; and use a myriad of mediums and techniques to illuminate the link between various facets of reality. Visions from the landscape, the cosmos and the body join with impressions of neurons, microbes, and other natural systems, creating a complexity of visual forms that navigate the paradox of inner and outer realities; of self and other.
This amorphous process-palette has recently coalesced, and is now inexorably drawn towards emphasizing personal and social experience within changing times. My paintings embrace such themes as relationship, how beliefs shape reality, planetary consciousness, and information sifting in an age of information overload. These complex ideas are balanced and emphasized by a return to nature and the moment.
