Artist statement:
The physical journey is integral to the inspiration that propels my art. Traveling throughout the world, I look for the simple, unsophisticated and organic details that define the beauty of that culture. I am always intrigued by the various human elements and visual stimulation that I encounter.
The artistic journey begins with a feeling or thought that I play with until the work takes on its own personality. Discovering unexpected relationships between imagery and cultural similarities or differences is what drives me in this process. I continue to explore the diversity of each element, letting my muse take me further on the creative journey.
I believe that as we race towards economic and technological advancement in our quest for globalization, we run the risk of sacrificing cultural diversity. My art reflects my desire to preserve the gentle balance between honoring cultural traditions and embracing the future. By combing art, culture, and technology, I weave images and experiences into new work that speaks to the diversity in the world. I believe making art grants access to worlds that may be sacred, forbidden, enchanting, or threatening. It allows us to see worlds that we may never fully engage in otherwise.
