Artist Statement: I see the world in layers, stacking colors and ideas, shapes and patterns onto each other as if one were walking through their day with blurred vision, not taking in specifics but piecing together various parts and overlapping them, sensing what’s all around us that we sometimes miss when we are caught in our thoughts. What develops is another realm of existence divided only by tonality and textures. These images are a suggestion of the subtlety of influences that exist and the apparent connection and interaction we have with all things. It’s photography that represents my personal experience of the world, becoming stories of multiple and personal dimensions, reflecting my emotional life, my inner turmoil, my passions and my sense of freedom in the world. Most of my work is used creating Photographs as a palette. My new work is multi-media.
