Artist Statement

.

In creating I search for contribution, significance, and meaning in this life, by intertwining mediums to create a new and living cohesive tapestry. No matter what medium I am working with, the piece playfully exudes its own unique visual narrative that the viewer can interpret as his or her very own, resonating with the work on many levels. I am deeply drawn to and influenced by the natural world.
