When I was six years old I found a small unnatural hole in the dry earth of the playground. The hole had formed between buried planks of decaying wood, and I spent many afternoons trying to excavate it as my imagination created a world of entombed rooms, abandoned and dusty, full of forgotten artifacts.
My work exists in the subterranean spaces between memory, dreams, and imagination. There is an architecture that connects these territories- a collective subconscious of creativity, which I explore by way of symbolism and mythology. Following this process, I often find both personal and universal meaning and resonance in a finished piece begun with simple inspiration, unrestrained by elaborate intention.
Though a multidisciplinary artist, I have been working in primarily with Encaustic for several years, and love finding new ways to push the medium using painting, printmaking, and sculptural techniques.
