Artist Statement
My recent work is an expansion on grief and an expedition into the spiritual realm. Reflecting on my own musings, thoughts and feelings, the work is created intuitively and thoughtfully. Energy, opposition and improvisation are important. Movement, mark making and trust are integral parts of the process. My work serves to help understand the things of life that don’t make sense.
