ARTIST’S STATEMENT

With my work I hope to invite viewers into a space where my dreams and my reality intertwine. I use materials like paint, canvas, wood and clay to create portals to hidden places we can all travel to but are sometimes not aware of—images we try to remember, subconscious visions, and feelings that we understand something completely but can’t put it into words. Each piece reflects my exploration of the mysterious, my attempt to access the tandem universe(s) that I believe is (are) all around us. It is my goal to capture these openings in reality—glimpses of something just beyond reach. I hope that my work offers viewers a chance to step into another world, making it possible for them to find their own stories within the imagery. I want my work to be an invitation to pause and explore that place between imagination and the world we perceive.
