ARTIST STATEMENT
As a visual artist, I am deeply inspired by the beauty and complexity of the natural world around us, and the deep meaning held in simple, everyday objects. Using watercolor, I create works that explore the intricacies of my subjects to find beauty and truth. Focusing on details and symbolism, my aim is to tell a story as it ties to my personal belief of Divine design, its mystery, our connection to it, and to one another.
