Artist Statement

Taking inspiration from nature and from my deep need to connect to the earth as well as to the creator who formed it, my work stems from a desire to absorb the viewer with this vital energy as well as to create ethereal works which will speak to you in an intimate and sincere way. My work is characterized by a subtle energy, delicate and ephemeral, suggesting a yearning to elevate myself and those who look thereon.
 
It is the relationship we have to each other and to the planet that we inhabit that inspires me to create work which will connect not only us to each other, but also to the deep and beautiful mystery that suffuses the life we experience. I experience a joy creating with skill, and despite hardship and suffering to still feel as a child in this world, small and in awe of the love, beauty and the power which is contained in nature and humanity. I create with the hope that the love that God holds for us, for the all, reaches into the viewers heart and stirs a memory of what life truly means – a Future Memory.
