Artist Statement
My art has always been a way for me to find order in this chaotic world, to reveal something
unique, and to bring people to a higher level of understanding.
I learned at an early age to be resourceful through trial and error. By developing curiosity
and questioning how things work, I observed patterns and potentials to uncover their
aesthetic relationships. This has become part of my artistic process. By letting go of all
preconceptions, I trust myself to explore concepts and forms without limitations. This
allows me to evoke an inner understanding and to apply that truth through an intuitive
process.
I want my art to captivate the viewer and demonstrate that the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts. It may take materials to convey my thoughts, but it’s the spirit that holds
the ideas together. “It’s not what I can do that motivates me, it’s what I can’t do."
