I am interested in seeds, their evolution, and their symbolic correlation to the phases of human development. Our experiences, like seeds, are buried, but then revealed when they surface sprouting and transforming like humans grow. In life, events germinate in a different manner than often how we expect. My work explores the organic nature of life.

This body of work can be read as abstracted landscapes that generalize locations and show movement in a larger context. Carefully considered color palettes and blind line drawings create organic pod-like shapes in motion. The use of color, the employment of paint and pencil and the ambiguity of organic forms allow meditation and contemplation in each viewer. A viewer’s experience with my work is an exercise in introspection and exploration.
