I utilize painting and photography in my search for symbols of balance, serenity, spirituality, and how we connect as a people. My single image photography stretches the bounds of what we consider as the story, allowing the viewer to feel a dialog to be created or added upon. The illuminations remove the image out of its original context placing them as abstractions to guide the viewer’s impressions. These legacies of layers, studies in organic constructions arrive from a pursuit influenced by my architecture and a fascination with structures found in nature or those being man made. I will always ask you, “how does the work make you feel, the emotion evoked?”
