Artist Statement

I consider this period in my career to be transitional. I am moving away from individual pieces and towards bodies of work that represent entire concepts of thought. My imagery has long been pastoral. I will continue to work with the life around me but I will move towards organizing these images into cohesive and distinct sets of work. I have spent years mastering a level of realism that fits my aesthetic and now hope to use that visual vocabulary to speak on issues and ideas that call to me.
