ARTIST STATEMENT

My paintings and drawings are rooted in improvisation, mapping and worldbuilding. I’m inspired to create by the ecosystems of nature around us - worlds of living beings, process and cycles. I intuitively explore color and shapes with the resounding truth that we are all creative beings here to build worlds with our imaginations. Each body is a conduit for receiving the creative energy of the cosmos. I connect with this energy to visually build worlds that are channeled from the stored knowledge within the body. I am a witness to the dance between the senses as they connect across timelines of experience. Through the alchemy of deep surrender, presence and transmutation, I am in practice with listening to the ancestors of the land and the elements. I am in dialogue with honoring the spiritual rebellion that emerges from my body’s desire to liberate itself from oppressive systems through creation.
