Statement
My paintings explore memory and sensory encounters in the natural world. I am interested in the way we tether ourselves to place and how the textures, colors, and symbols associated with a specific place become part of our being. I try to piece together the emotional and nostalgic aspects of change in the natural world, as mimicked in our own lives and bodies.
