Artist Statement: "My work focuses on the relationship and exploration of line, color, shape, mark making and surface while hoping to invoke a sense of reclaimed memory to the viewer. The use of organic abstract shapes and hints of what they might represent, along with the use of images which invoke a sort of stillness and quiet reflection all play an important role in my work. Nature and all its richness is a constant inspiration in my life as is the beauty around and within. My art often carries those themes along with those of memories, solitude, longing, growth, struggle and moments within the space of fleeting time.
