About The Artwork

Maps of all around the world cut into circles of different sizes represent represent the idea that we each have our own world that we live in. The organic lines that flow around connect them all together. This was created at a workshop and was an exercise in trusting my artistic muscle memory. I tried to not "think too much" but instead trust my instincts. I am inspired by our connection with the natural world in which we live. We are integral, not separate from it. My mission is to connect you with that idea on an emotional level through my art. I describe my art as imaginary landscapes of organic memory. Each piece uniquely evolves, unfolds and develops through similar processes, just as we each do. I capture an emotional essence which connects us with the natural world. I strive to create images which feel comfortable while also challenging you to decipher and hold you in that moment to reach deeper to a place within yourself that ignites something.

My current works in the "imaginary landscapes of organic memory" series, are created through a process of direct interaction with each piece as they develop. Each piece starts with a drawing which I see as the bones or structure of the piece and from there a dialogue begins. Through a combination of choices, chances and reactions, layer upon layer builds the landscape. I see the process similar to how we develop through our lives with each layer representing experiences built upon previous ones, all which shape who we become. I call upon shapes and textures which I have experienced from nature, which have become part of my soul and where I find peace and safety from the man-made conflicts of day to day living. These imagined landscapes have a surreal element which challenges the viewer yet are also filled with a comfortable familiarity which connects and welcomes.
