Statement
I create environmentally conscious art across a variety of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, installation, and works on paper. My work celebrates the wonder of the natural world and raises awareness about the profound impact our actions have on the environment and our bodies.
I believe that art holds the power to encourage curiosity and inspire change. Through my practice, I seek to spark conversations about sustainability, plastic reduction, and the urgent need to protect the world we inhabit.
In all aspects of my creative process, I am committed to using environmentally friendly materials and techniques. By incorporating sustainable practices into my work, I hope to further align my art with the values I stand for.
