Artist Statement:
My art is inspired by our
biological world. I often
focus on nature’s fragile
beauty and the tension between
concepts such as hope through
nurturing and creation, and
fear through neglect and
destruction. In weaving
together these elements, I
portray subjects with vital
intensity and desperate
vulnerability.
Recently my focus has turned
to our cultural ambivalence
toward nature. By subverting
image styles found in science
and popular culture I am
giving visual form to the
misuse of nature as a
commodity and drawing
attention to the effects
society is having on the
smallest components of
ecosystems.
