"My art practice involves cultivating presence so as to reflect on the stories we carry within and to move toward compassionate action in the way we live. I'm inspired by a love of the wild, untamed expansiveness of nature and the layered depths of human beings."
"My art practice involves cultivating presence and stillness. I hope to invite us to know ourselves, to reflect and listen to the stories we carry within and allow them to inspire us toward compassionate action in the way we live. My love of the wild, untamed expansiveness of nature and my curiosity regarding the layered depths of human beings, inspire both figurative and abstract expressions of the human and natural world."
