Artist Statement
I am an abstract painter and sculptor, although my imagery and subject matter emerge from a very concrete network of sources that continue to fascinate me. Through my work, I respond to visual phenomena occurring in nature as well as human interpretations of those naturally occurring forms. Fluid dynamics, animal flocking behavior, insect swarm intelligence, human architectural forms, biological atlas illustration and even ornamental patterns are all forms of natural and human-made design that I explore in my paintings and sculpture.
