“The art that I create carries a social narrative that evokes an emotional response in it’s viewers. That emotional response catches interest and most importantly gives the messages behind the work a chance to be heard. A prominent theme of my work is environmental conservation and the connections formed between humans and themselves, their environment, and other living things. These themes weave throughout my practice building illustrations and stories towards a composed visual piece of art that beckons closer inspection and has been said creates a relationship between the viewer and the art itself. I work mostly in varieties of paint as a chosen medium and most recently creating interactive mural experiences. Other similarities notable in my paintings are the dramatic use of lights and shadows and detailed portraiture. ”
