Artist Statement

In the sanctuary of the natural world, I find an endless wellspring of inspiration, drawing upon its intricate beauty to fuel my creative journey. My artistic practice is deeply rooted in a profound respect for wildlife and nature, and through my work, I aim to awaken a similar reverence and consciousness in the viewer about the urgent need for conservation.

The mediums I employ—sculpture, painting, printmaking, and ceramics—serve as vessels to explore and express a tapestry of human emotions including love, comfort, loss, and solitude. My sculptures, often crafted from found objects in nature, challenge the conventional boundaries of artistic creation, merging the familiar with the surreal to evoke a sense of wonder and reflection.

Through the tactile intimacy of clay, the transformative power of paint, and the deliberate force of printmaking, each piece invites an exploration of both the external natural world and the internal landscapes of emotion. My art strives to create a connection, urging viewers to reflect on their personal experiences while contemplating the broader implications of our interactions with the environment.

As an artist, I am constantly evolving, driven by a curiosity about nature’s oddities and the stories they tell. My current projects revolve around transforming natural found objects into unforeseen art forms, symbolizing the unexpected encounters and hidden stories in the wild. This approach not only highlights the beauty and uniqueness of each element but also emphasizes the importance of preserving such wonders.

In every texture of clay, stroke of the brush, and imprint on paper, I seek to capture the essence of our shared human condition—threading the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world, and fostering a dialogue that I hope will inspire action and empathy towards both.
