Artist Statement

I create symbols that hark back to the origins of language, I seek ancestral connection through this practice. I have observed that the progress of modern man is also causing the destruction of the natural world, a conflict that begs for a major paradigm shift.  I look at the tension within human beings as both an instinctual animal, an intelligent/civilized species, a destructive and creative force, and a spiritual being. I feel compelled to acknowledge those areas of tension and find ways to reveal these experiences through my art.
