Artists Statement
As a visual artist I have the privilege of not only interpreting physical reality but also actively participating through the act of creating in the great mysteries that permeate human experience. I believe in the power of the symbol as a tool to suggest the unknowable and I am primarily attracted to imagery that serves as metaphor for myself and my experience based in equal parts on the unseen or abstract and subjective reality.

In my view, making art is a process by which an object is imbued with significance through repetition and an accumulation of detail. My technique involves dissecting an object into its interconnected parts and, in the reassemby process, distorting the image into a heightened version of itself. This meditation on form is an exploration of an object's intrinsic quality and, in my opinion, the ultimate acknowledgment of both the complexity and the simple beauty of the natural world.
