As an artist I am concerned with how the physical landscape is transformed into a cognitive one and how personal and public spaces intersect in the stories we tell about them. The consequence of this for me as an artist has been that most of the work I do whether its printmaking, book arts, Zines, video, or installation begins with a place, a site or location that becomes a jumping off point for my imagination
Each project or series that I undertake is arrived at through an intuitive, research-based approach to observing, studying, and documenting specific locations with the hope of creating a dialogue between myself and the viewer that provides an opportunity for shared exploration and interpretation of places. I believe that by developing a shared understanding of the physical world, we can encourage empathy for the spaces we occupy and perhaps encourage a greater sense of stewardship and care
