Artist Statement
My paintings are diary entries, where inner concerns of environmental and cultural
importance are expressed and depict the interconnection between humanity and nature. I
explore paintings through direct and indirect techniques, and create mixed media works that
incorporate found objects from nature such as native sea sponges, plant life, and driftwood
interspersed with human-made materials such as glass, and handmade paper.
