"My paintings and collages are conversations with myself, attempts to understand my place in the world, and my responses to life in front of me.
I’m drawn to densely tangled, barren, and decimated landscapes and seascapes that evoke awe and existential discomfort. Images that work their way into my art come from terrains I’ve visited, books I’m reading, television news, and quotidian experiences from my daily life."
