Artist Statement

When I watch the world around me, I am fascinated by details that are in a constant process of changing. I watch an evolution of color, size, texture, light and shadow. There is nothing in physical creation that does not change. Emotions are fluid as well. One moment is intense, the next is calm. Some transformations are immediate, while others unfold slowly.

In my art, I seek to capture movement and moment. I catch a split-second of a transformation I cannot control, and produce its likeness through a medium that I can control. I love using art to pause an atmosphere and to reveal an otherwise unnoticed point of shifting between one appearance and another.
