artist profile

Painting helps me refer to a larger landscape depiction tradition and also allows me room for personal inflections to flourish. I employ a delicate brush-stroke, rendering both natural and manufactured items from my immediate environment within the context of the larger whole. I think my work suggests that ecology is sensitively balanced. I work towards a societal paradigm shift that acknowledges our interconnectivity within our surrounding environment.
