Artist Statement

Being human, means that we will always have questions about the reality that we are placed in. During our time on earth, we will ask why we are here, and we will never get a straight answer. Art, is a language that has a way of bridging the connection between the real and the ethereal. My work is a strong conduit for that connection, using the tools that we already have equipped.

Though one cannot see a human soul, our individual consciences are proof alone that they exist.

Though we may not be able to see the beating heart, we feel its pressure when we search for it. The rhythm of the heart reflects the rhythm of the earth and beyond.

And though we my not hvae a map to navigate the narrow passages of cognizance, our brains spark the light of thought and inspiration the whole time we are alive.

This is the holy trinity of tools we are equipped with to explore the incessant questions that grow with us. Who am I Where do I come from Why am I here Where am I going

My work is a beam of light targeted on the darkest areas of existential thought that has the potential to teach the viewer how to answer those questions on their own, while coming to appreciate that we are similar despite our outward differences. ...
