Artist Statement
I am immersed in a study of the natural world. I aim to gain greater artistic skill and knowledge about our earth with each work. I am interested in what the work will reveal through sustained practice. The Earth and I know each other. She most likely knows me much better than I do myself. I believe that our planet has things she wants to teach me. I believe I am somehow important to her. I believe that I have responsibilities in my relationship with our Earth.
Love the Earth.
Description of the Work
Each work is a compilation of Native portraits, forest animals, Woodlands Native patterning, and watercolor mark-making. It holds a dynamic tension of realism and abstract art concepts.
Education
2017, MFAIA, Goddard College, Port Townsend, WA campus.
