STATEMENT
My work seeks to express the sublime qualities of the natural world such as changing skies, vast bodies of water, geological formations, and brilliant foliage. I work between canvas and glass to explore the phenomenological contrast between richly built up textures and flattened yet sharply defined contours of brush strokes, drip patterns, and fields of color.
