Artist Statement

My interests lie in the use of imagery, specifically young adolescents, creatures such as bunnies, and imaginary landscapes as a vehicle to express emotions and relationships. For me, the narrative is in the realm of the psychological, rather than the literal.

The work is influenced by art history, current events, fairy tales, fables, and my own personal history. By juxtaposing elements that seem unrelated, a dreamlike and timeless place is created. My intentions is to provide just enough visual information to ponder the possibilities of what is transpiring and inspires the viewer to their own interpretation.
