Artist Statement
I am constantly inspired by the world around me and my experiences in it. I believe that we can learn so much about ourselves from the places we visit - those foreign and familiar - and how they resonate with us after we return to our starting point.
I spent a significant amount of time traveling to various places throughout the United States and Europe, and my artwork is a reflection on so many of the people I meet and places I see. There are places I repeatedly visit, as well as places I may only ever see once, that left and continue to leave a striking impact on my life. I use my artwork as a means to express this connection and to understand it better myself.
I experiment with color and mark-making within all types of media as a way to develop an understanding of how the artistic process can connect to a sense of place. I engage in many different art forms, however am most intrigued by painting and printmaking.
