ARTIST STATEMENT
I work primarily with mixed-media painting and experimental sculptural forms made from repurposed materials, I engage in a process of listening to materials and allowing forms to emerge organically. My work explores the relationship between humans and their environment, examining how actions, decisions, and internal states shape our world. Through my practice, I investigate ideas of awareness, responsibility, and the often overlooked connections between thoughts and reality.
My work reflects on presence, perception, and the little things that influence how we exist within our environment
