Artist Statement: My current body of work represents my fascination with the mystery of abstract shapes and their juxtaposition with human form. My work has taken this concept most literally by combining the human form and the abstracted shapes of modern landscapes.

I am a process-oriented artist. The process is what drives my work from one piece to the next. I am constantly exploring my personal boundaries. I am inspired by all the steps in which art is made; I am not afraid to face the difficulties the process requires of me, so long as I continue to learn and grow from it. The process allows me to conquer problems; these challenges allow new points of departure for the next works.
 
 

I am interested in the correlation between humans and their environment, specifically the natural form and the industrial landscape. My work references the integration of architecture to natural environment.
 
   

  
 


The work that I make gives me the freedom to go anywhere. The abstract liberates where the figurative constrains. The work sets up my boundaries and I push against them. This is our relationship.
