To be alive at this time - the time when our planet and all living things are facing catastrophic shifts in the environment, politics, technology - invites a certain type of reflection on our species, our planet, the human, and more-than-human condition. 

​

I use art to capture components of our modern human strangeness - weaving between collage and painting, abstract and representational, reflecting on our species' complexity, our shared vulnerabilities, the pressure of our own denial, and our ongoing participation in a system that drives us to an uncertain future. 

​

My hope is to highlight the modern paradox of human life - ​​ bringing the diversity and commonalities of our individual and collective lenses into the canvas imagery - covering the broad swath of feelings and the surprising ways we connect, living on a shared earth, provoked by our planetary upheaval to recognize new things about each other, our planet, and ourselves.
