ABOUT THE ARTIST
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
- Henry David Thoreau
In life, things aren’t always as they seem. My process of layering photo transparencies to create new images, challenges viewers to look at subject matter differently - with varied interpretation not only being valid, but desirable. I aspire to have my artwork seen as a platform for viewers to express their viewpoints, feel seen & heard, and empowered by their own voice.
Though diverse and sometimes enigmatic in subject, my collection consistently delves into the interplay between "Life & Nature." Nature being a constant theme contributes to a serene palette and textures that are relatable to all ages and backgrounds.
