Through a process of self-discovery and aesthetic fusion, I am exploring the nature of human experience. The question of what is natural particularly interests me. I approach this question with awareness that time, technology, societal expectations, and imagination have profound effects on the way we live.

Even in abstract works, I recognize that natural forms emerge, unearthed from what I observe, think, and feel. In my work I am reaching for meaning and synthesis of experience. Meaning is given to ordinary occurrences through associations, re-positioning in a fluid process. Re-imagining my surroundings brings greater clarity to disconnected experiences, allowing me to dig deeper in everyday life. As Thoreau wrote in Walden, “I would drink deeper, fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars.”
