Artist Statement:
“I find that I am constantly drawn to the abstract, to symbols and metaphors that beautifully mask the hidden, and to nature. My subject matter is primarily centered on the self, and ideas that indirectly evoke feelings of self. I especially love using unusual contours and vibrant colors to create different perspectives on the faces we see, the faces I see. The intent is for my art to inspire curiosity as well as a warm sense of familiarity, simultaneously.”
