ARTIST STATEMENT
Art is a lens through which I examine my physical world and my inner reality. It allows me to digest my memories and explore concepts of beauty, love, and pain that circulate through my life.
​
I view my process as holding a magnifying glass up to my subject. Though I don’t find many answers while creating art, my work is really about the search, the journey, and my ever-shifting perspective of reality; with the pursuit of making something beautiful.
