Artist Statement

There is a place of reflection, whereas an image transforms time and place.  A glimpse into another dimension, where thoughts, ideas, and perceptions are transformed to their truest purity.  The creative process probes a deeper exploration of experiences; encompassing both the frailty and strengths of our species.  My artist practice focuses on themes involving science and technology, the dichotomy between mankind and the natural world, the human condition, and the diversified beauty of nature.

I work primarily in the water based mediums of watercolour and acrylic, but will utilize a mixed media approach encompassing inks, gold leaf, oils, etc, depending on the visual effect, and the inherent meaning of each piece.  Through my work, I wish to express these subtle reflections, sometimes through a mosaic like narrative, often through capturing a visual image that presents an ethereal, dreamlike state.
