My work is a celebration of the mysteries and magic of life. I am enticed by the awe and wonderment of the functioning body and our perceptions of intangible experiences. I express this mystique of vitality through surreal inspired compositions and playful interactions of an enclitic collective.

Formal inspiration for my works is found in juxtapositions that create a heightened visual experience. Some of these elements are ancient perfume bottles, with highly ornamented tops that explode from the vessels, which convey growth, transformation, and reflections of internal strengths. Others compare the gritty tactile experience of raw earth to the tension of voids between objects that intrinsically take on humanoid characteristics.

Conceptual inspiration is drawn from the enigmatic gift of individuality.  This is expressed through both questioning one’s physiological permanency while still embracing a united instant. This is referenced through images of the human body/bones, optical illusions and by the symbolism created through the use of utilitarian pieces that speak of camaraderie and the communal experience of shared time.

I find the human mechanism and the experience of living life to be a great ambiguous adventure.  This adventure does not necessarily need to be explained but relished through the charisma of existence.  I enjoy the idea of the unknown and allow my imagination to fill in the blanks between how and why.
