Interior Landscape; Resurrecting Personal Mythology

Art is a language I use to articulate the less rational and more mysterious realms of being human. It is a bridge to memory of a time past and time between. A place I resurrect fragments once lost, to create a new whole from which to respond to the world at large. The exploration of liminal space, interiority, reciprocity, ancestral connections, ritual, and animism are inherent in my work. The abstracted figures act as a cross between superheroes and totemic beings; guardian that protect, honor, and celebrate the unseen and disenfranchised. They are broken hearts and spirits that are weaving the hard parts into a regenerative narrative.
