Artist Statement

I work to communicate tranquility and reflection to the viewer. I wish to trigger the viewer’s imagination, not of a specific place or time but something that is from their experiences.

The changing environment influences my work. We’re surrounded by the disappearance of natural places that are rapidly being replaced by new homes and warehouses. I like to show natural elements competing with the constant conflict of industrial influences. Before the pandemic, I drove down the Turnpike each day. Along the way, new warehouses were being built at an alarming pace. Yet no matter what, there is evidence of nature still working to maintain a balance.
