Artist Statement

Throughout history humans have had a spatial and spiritual relationship to the natural world, due to modern times this relationship has gone through a disconnect. The structures we build reveal a great deal about our natural environment as well as expressing the artistic sensibility of a place, it’s history and meaning. The spaces we occupy can either foster connection and harmony or reinforce separation.

My compositions are rooted in dystopian surrealism, reflecting the fragmented and often conflicting perspectives that shape today’s society. I aim to explore how we navigate the complexities around sustainability, architecture, and the natural environment.

Through collage and oil painting techniques, I create visual compositions that strike balance within chaos. Assembling disparate parts into a cohesive image invites a reconsideration of how we understand and make sense of the world. I invite audiences to engage in a dialogue on the way modern society impacts our irreplaceable ecosystem.
