Artist Statement
Within the human subconscious mind lies a world of experiences; a wealth of memories and connections that are built layer upon layer. It is my personal journey to rediscover the spiritual dialogue between the mind, body, soul and actions. Creating art brings me peace and offers me a place to meditate on the beauty in the world.
My highest goal is to convey that same peace and grace to the viewer, offering a moment or pause & a feeling of deep belonging.
