Artist Statement
I often get inspiration from structures and patterns found in nature. I combine objects and structures that are created by people with those that are found in the natural world.
Drawing plays a big role in my creative process. Even though my work is primarily abstract, I often include motifs and visual clues from my surroundings that help to inform the viewer of what the painting is about.
I often start a piece with a subject in mind. As the painting evolves my thinking changes along with it and eventually the painting takes on its own reality that is parallel to the physical world that is around us. Ultimately, I am internalizing the visual and material world and arriving at a more ambiguous, poetic and metaphorical reality.
