As an artist, my personal experiences, innermost thoughts and struggles may be my greatest pool of creativity from which I draw. Invoking curiosity and discovery in my audience helps to not just communicate my views, but to create a certain dialog between the anatomies of nature and emotion. Many of my current series involve research of the biophilia hypothesis, that is, the human connection to the natural world, and study of the collective unconscious. Nature and the cyclic world are ever-present in my work, made apparent in my use of organic shapes, harmonious arrangements, and use of scale. Life is a measure of definitive time, and death as a measure of worth of life. My work conveys my struggle to understand the common practice of sacrificing nature for technology's sake. It allows me to investigate the comparative value of the empathetic versus the apathetic self, based on our interconnectedness to others in our environment. I explore my experiences at a macro-level and my emotions at a micro-level to better understand the world around me and those with whom I share it.
