Artist’s Statement

I paint to ground myself, to take time to appreciate the beauty in our surroundings and celebrate life's most basic essentials. My work explores the digital aspects of flat illustration and combines with acrylic painting techniques to create a more tactile effect. I believe that simplified images can be used just as effectively as more detailed illustrations to convey messages in today's fast paced world. I hope that my simplistic, contemporary approach allows not only me, but also the viewer to slow down in their busy day and take a moment to form a relationship with our beautiful environment. My designs are inspired by the laws of geometry incorporated with the perfectly imperfect form of nature. I make an effort with every artwork to breathe life into our solitary environment so that those designs, ideas and innovations are displayed on my canvas.
