As an artist, I am inspired by the transitional world that we experience. Particularly, about the relationship between natural and man-made environments. The juxtaposition between manufactured and organic drives me to find the layers behind each of these respective worlds, especially when we look through the lens of science and technology. I’m interested in seeing if these worlds can co-exist and not destroy each other. That being said I’m inspired & driven to find a balance myself as an artist and occupant of this amazing & fragile world I co-exist in.

As a creative, I am inspired to use my talent to investigate patterns from science, nature and art. When I consider the beauty of the ocean, a mountain side or a lush forest, I become cognizant of the story that may exist there. My work is driven by my desire to discover the layers and stories in these spaces. The story always involves more than meets the eye, such as the development, pollutants and politics that now impact these beautiful natural spaces.

My goal is to invite my viewers in to a dimension that goes beyond 2D visual art hanging on a wall; I want to lure viewers into a complex 4D world that includes the typical visual layers, but also has the textual stories, and an exploration of our environment. By doing this, my work can be a forum for dialogues that may find solutions to protecting the natural environment, which is precious for human survival.
