Artist Statement
As children we make sense of our world through sensory exploration, eventually familiarity with our surroundings turns our raptured attention into indifference. My art strives to rekindle the excitement of discovery through interaction and play. I’m particularly drawn to public art because of its power to engage communities and transform everyday spaces into opportunities for reflection and creativity.
Drawing from nature and everyday reality, I distort familiar forms in whimsical and bizarre ways. My drawings and sculptures invite the viewer to analyze the peculiar forms and create their own narratives surrounding them. I utilize humor, vibrant colors, appealing textures, and illustrative lines to create an inviting and approachable environment where others are encouraged to indulge in their inherent desire to explore. I’ve found that in this space of comfort and openness there is room to discuss individual experiences and ideas.
