Most of my art is an exploration on the human experience and the analogies that we use to describe it. I will take phrases commonly used to paint mental images in each other's minds to describe experiences and feelings. I then create a visual interpretation by using easily recognizable elements and symbolism. By working with conceptual feelings and posing questions, I put the viewer in a state of reflection, contemplating how they relate to the subject matter presented.
My art will often times float between the human experience and the natural world. I will draw parallels on personal understanding and how it can lead to understanding the world around us. When weaving themes of humanness and nature, I can lessen the divide that we are separate when in fact we are one.
