STATEMENT
I was raised in the country near a small town in the Midwest. With many fond memories of communing with nature as a child, I often draw on those experiences for inspiration as I experiment with a variety of media. My interpretations of nature and our surroundings are my attempts to help the viewer experience a new way of looking at the world around us.
