Artist's Statement
My interest in art lies in the relationship between natural elements, the human form, gesture and emotion, body and nature. The interconnection between our emotions and our state of being is directly effected by the world we live in. As we enter the new millennium, I feel more than ever, the precarious balance of life in today’s world. The future of the planet and the future of all life is floundering under the guise of corporate greed, toxic waste, unprecedented wars and desecration of our environment. From this place, I create, exploring the balance points that many of us face as we live through these uncertain times. My work as an artist reflects our questions, our fears, and dreams as we struggle to maintain a sense of purpose and a sense of hope for the future.
