Artist Statement
I have traveled to various wild forests and woods and I am amazed by the beauty and high energy of all of those magnificent places. It is these places in which I stop and become one with the environment. The colors, sounds, and smells are intense and profound. It is these experiences that I try to capture in time within my art. Conscious of environmental fragility, I prioritize using recycled materials in my work. Much of my art features repurposed materials and salvaged, or scrap.
