“My work makes a personal statement that is an amalgamation of my experiences, and a desire for deep connection with others, the natural world, and myself. It speaks to the search for meaning, peace, and spiritual connection that is inherently human. I aim to show a complexity of emotion in my subjects, including vulnerability. When people witness vulnerability in others, compassion ensues, and allows them to feel connected regardless of their differences. When viewing my work, I wish for there to be an exchange that validates the viewers humanity, and ignites self awareness. It is from this place of vulnerability that growth and healing are possible.”
