Artist Statement

I create dynamic abstract paintings on dimensional shaped panels. Each piece I create is the result of an inquiry, addressing different aspects of art, math, science, and craft. Equally inspired by the beauty found in nature and the beauty found in science and innovation, these inquiries have led me to delve into the mathematical structure of flowers, to explore the planets and stars and our relationship to them through science and mythology, and to investigate the effect of geometric patterns on our visual perception and the role memory plays in that process. This approach to making my work has resulted in my own innovations in painting, woodworking, and most recently, prismatic photography. Ultimately, through my work I seek to deepen my understanding of the world and my place in it and to encourage my viewers to do the same for themselves.
