My art is rooted in emotional truth and the search for connection. While animals have been the primary subjects of my works, I am learning to use my art as a mechanism for sharing my story. Historically, I have been focused on evoking positive emotions and the appreciation of animals, and I will undoubtedly revisit my love for animals in future works. However, art that tells a story can be extremely powerful although it may not evoke the positive emotions we always hope to feel. In future works, I am hoping to evoke a range of emotions and am starting with a series of personas which have shaped me.
