> STATEMENT
Artist’s Statement A love of nature, culture and travel inspire my work, while a keen interest in holistic medicine, balance related activities, and musical rhythms fuel recurring themes from which I seek metaphorically to weave my work. Through my personal expression of art, I attempt to expand the consciousness of the viewer of our relationship to our surroundings: not only environmentally, but culturally. I hope to relay the deeper connection that we have to our planet and each other. I seek to create a visual statement that provides coherence between what sometimes seems so severed in our shrinking global society. My fortune and great gift has been to travel widely, to continue to live through my passions. Through art I have the opportunity to relay—to recycle, if you will-- these experiences, expressing visually my observations. Conceptually I continue to pursue an interest in the sustainability of my content. That is to say I want to communicate a resonant message that allows the viewer to find a deeper relationship to the self and to the environment. Natural materials are woven into the work to create an expansive visual conversation, ideally leading toward conscious growth.
