Statement

In my current work there is a focus on the human presence in landscape. Through using a variety of media and processes I try to create visual and textural narratives that foster a meaningful dialogue. I am interested in trying to create dreamlike images that evoke collected memories,an almost subconscious image bank that we all have access to. It is the unpredictability of media and potential sense of discovery that excites me when making artwork.
