Artist Statement Through my art, I subliminally mine my inner life. Each work and each series begins with a simple idea that invariably becomes much more layered, complex, wrenching, and illuminating than what was initially hinted at. The common thread that appears in my work is impermanence; the impermanence of health, the body, life, and control. This theme is reflected in my recent works which interpret trees, hands, paths and portals, speaking to my feelings of uncertainty and the need to forge forward into the unknown.
