I am interested in the power of art as a tool for positive change. Most recently, my work has materialized in response to the social, political and environmental issues that keep me up at night. On a personal level, the process of creating art that conveys my reactions to conversations and events unfolding in the world around me provides space for meditation and catharsis. In engaging with an audience, it is my hope that my work will challenge viewers to think in new ways, imagine possibilities for better paths forward, and take actions toward the realization of a better world. Moving forward, I am interested in exploring abstraction as a path for communicating conceptual messages viscerally through juxtapositions of color and texture.
