Current work encapsulates the longing to understand the past, present, and never was. They question the passing of time and reflect on the significance and insignificance of the self. These images explore both individual and collective consciousness and the dichotomy of being everything and nothing. Figures are used in an iconographic manner, a vessel to the message that what is familiar is also unknown. Graphic two dimensional backgrounds are their own symbolic, hieroglyphic type language and are used to further convey the meaning of the overall image. Combining senses of realism with emotional expressionism, each work is version of reality interpreted and invented.

Cultivate is a series from 2011 - 2014. All works are in acrylic. This series explores the interconnectedness of existence, time, and nature. How do we grow and change, what is carried within us or beyond? The past and the future is part of us in the present. Our ancient ties are alive within us and we are also reborn throughout our lives from experience and circumstance. We are independent and predestined within existence.
