I focus on two main avenues within my work.
Animal Dreams / Pistol Series: There is an age-old struggle in finding a balance between the natural world and the human condition. My passion for the romanticized and rugged West, where the male character is often dominant, is counterbalanced the elegance and feminine strength of Mother Nature. In these works, I explore the harmony between the mechanic & organic, the masculine & feminine, the contemporary & historic. I dive into a personal narrative. Preserving the natural world and spreading awareness of threatened species also plays a part in these works.
Undercurrents: Undercurrents is a continuous exploration of where the physical, mental and emotional parts of ourselves intersect. How curious and incredible it is that our bodies communicate with us through both physical and psychological expression. This study continues to be both therapeutic and enlightening. It has been a gift to learn from others as I share this creative work. I look forward to exploring deeper and more abstractly as the series progresses. In the future, I plan to show all of this work and include performance art—gritty, layered, human.
