Statement
In creating, I am concerned with understanding humanity’s place within the biosphere and the complexities of coexistence with other human beings as well as the planet as an entire organism. I’m interested in our historical and contemporary beliefs in Gods and how this belief has been used to shape society in God’s name. The driving force behind all of my work is the persistent effort to refine better techniques, through painting, to convey my observations and create a visual dialogue that invites contemplation and introspection.
