Artist Statement

I am inspired by the western landscape which has navigated me through this world.

That inspiration lends a hand in the exploration of how places tell stories, create belonging, and transfers meaning.

I enjoy making images and objects that create a sense of abstract place, allowing for realism and abstraction to intersect.
