  • It was clear to me from very young that interacting creatively with the Fine Arts would bring me joy and a better understanding of my world. Eventually. I chose to focus on two-dimensional Visual Art as a way to express my observations, new perspectives and memories.

    I am interested in two-dimensional media; drawing, painting, and photography. It is important to me that my imagery is recognizable in the conventional sense because I want my work to have the language of familiarity. I use images that not only represent meaningful events, animals or people in my life, but also represent our common humanity.
