Bold. Vibrant. Statement Art
Growing up in a rural area of Connecticut, I felt solace in the natural environs of wooded areas, observing how things grew, changed and evolved; how brilliantly the sun shone, how lucid the colors of nature are, and how rapidly a day was able to evolve from dry to wet, grey to bright sky. My childhood travels to New York City with family exposed me to a different world of geometric shapes in the massive buildings of the city skyline; it is in this space of my imagination that I combine the two contrasting ideologies. I express the distinction between organic and industrial by the vivid use of color and texture. Line and color are the main design elements utilized to construct my imagery. Although still intrigued by the workings of urban life and its implications on humanity, I now reside in Arizona, preferring the solitude and serenity of the desert to stimulate the unexplored regions of my imagination.
I believe that creating my art from discarded and found materials to be a more conscientious endeavor at this time in my life I made that decision when it came to light how deeply polluted our oceans are, and how entire cities are constructed on landfills. Giving those materials a new life, I hope it inspires others to look more deeply into how precious our planet is.
