Artist Statement

More recently, I have been creating drawings and paintings, in search of a personal vocabulary that gives expression to the theme most present in my work: discovering spirituality. Understanding that I exist in layers of reality is fundamental, and key to a more broad understanding of what it means to be simultaneously human and spiritual. To consider this, I examine life experiences to track the deeper movements of personal spiritual experience. By searching and charting the beyond, my work seeks to investigate a realm beyond myself, one that hopes to unearth the divine.
