Artist Statement
I am in love with the sea. Coming from the desert, it has always been this unattainable beauty, a sense of awe, and has instilled a longing for adventure. Because of this, I have always had a fascination with stories of exploration. Many of my pieces discuss exploration as isolation within vast new landscapes. Within this theme I also explore ideas of man vs nature, and what it means for the remains of the human world to be reinstated into the natural. I find these themes to be very telling of human nature and it often forces me to question how I create my own adventures.
