Artist Statement

My work explores the relationship between humans and nature, environmental concerns, and the balance of my local plains ecosystem. Through working with naturalists, biologists, and wildlife enthusiasts, I seek to gain a better understanding of native, invasive, and endangered species of the area I inhabit. I use painting as a tool to preserve, elevate, and marvel at the intricate details of living things.
