ARTIST STATEMENT:

My interest is in the natural world and its cyclical forces. I view nature as the essence or principal that informs the workings of our world.

These paintings, drawings, and sculptural installations of roots and nests explore themes of potentiality, the cycle of continuity, and the interconnectedness amongst all living things. These works also speak to the internal architecture that exists in natural forms, as well as the relationship between builder and that which is being built.

The work as a whole recognizes the pattern of origin and decline found within the natural world.
