Do you ever feel the pull of the moon as it waxes and wanes, the spirit of the land as it changes and cycles, the call of your soul to wander? I investigate these themes by transcribing myths of the land, the moon, and the stars into dynamic artworks that explore what it means to be human in an ever-changing world. Areas of my oil paintings are finely rendered, steadfast in reality, while other areas are abstract and obscure. In this way, I seek to imitate life and the spirit of creation, which can sometimes seem so concrete and at other times, dreamy and transcendent. My inspiration comes from change: the change of seasons, the cycles of the moon, and the changes we go through as we move through our lives. A sense of longing and wonder permeates my art, hopefully speaking directly to your spirit by weaving a tapestry of shared emotions and experiences between us.
