“You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born. Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter you long before it happens. Just wait for the birth, for the hour of the new clarity.”

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My work reflects archetypal discoveries, images from nature, or cultural symbols; balancing psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and environmental themes. My
process starts with thoughtful color and paper selection applied to canvas or
paper supports, to develop a design that may include other natural or man made
elements. These images will be worked and reworked to establish challenging
compositions that evoke chaos and harmony and thought provoking themes.
