STATEMENT

My work is designed to elicit delight in visual forms. Humor is especially important in my work as well. I am attracted to a kind of hyper aggressive, yet femme, beauty. I utilize a variety of images to communicate my thoughts, but I let them land randomly. Narrative is not my goal, instead I push for a personal reading of each work, done by the individual viewer.

Topics include but are not limited to nature, especially the flora and fauna of the American south, climate as destiny, female archetypes, pattern, repetition, the ancient world as perceived by the modern world, and on and on.
