Artist Statement
As an artist I like to concentrate on individuals which includes both human and animal. Exploring the nuances of an individual is fascinating to me. When I look at animals I see intelligence and spirituality reflected in their eyes. There is depth and thought in their minds. I think about the animals strength, connections to families or packs, environment, and how they personally affect the world. I hope to capture wisdom, nurturing and strength and pair that with a spiritual connection in my work.
