Artist Statement 

"I am fascinated by nature, and it has always inspired my artworks. Some of my lines, compositions, and even stories are derived from nature's curves, forms, and magnificent colors and combinations. 

The visible form of nature is not the only thing that inspires me. I am even more inspired and fascinated by the growth in nature and how the random elements start from the smallest particles and grow in billions of billions to shape a flawless composition as if every single particle knew from the beginning where it exactly belonged.

Artist Statement 

"The Summer series is a collection of drawings based around stream of consciousness prompts, an exercise in speed and recreating traditional style mark making in a digital format. Average drawing in the series was drawn in a 30 minute to hour span."

Artist Statement 

"My thoughts and concerns focus on the subtle physical forces required for manipulating and forming this soft malleable material, attempting to capture in the skin-like wall of the form a sense of origin, movement and life."

Artist Statement 

"During my childhood I lived in fifteen different houses in the Midwest - a part of the country that feels as placeless as the rental houses my family occupied. As a result, I have always felt like an outsider observing and wondering about the area I was inhabiting. Each time we moved I became fascinated and haunted by the residual essence of the former inhabitants that still lingered around the landscape of our home.

Artist Statement 

"Sometimes the most exciting discoveries lie between ‘far’ and ‘too far’—in the threshold between distorted content and content that is destroyed beyond all recognition."

Artist Statement 

"The Apollonian and Dionysian conflict of Nietzsche's fame is a reasonable way to frame my current work. If one does not easily tolerate Nietzsche, the koan “Boy Meets Girl…” or Siddhartha by Herman Hesse are other recommended starting places."

Artist Statement 

"My work balances on the thread-thin line between art and craft -- that seam line that holds our desires together rather than a space where hierarchy within expression feels necessary. Quilts are, to me, often a physical manifestation of our desire for order and repetition. My work often lives within the tension of our reach for perfection within human manual imprecision and embraces the beauty in letting go of our preconceived notions of perfection.
