Artist Statement

My work depicts interconnected subjects including material culture, iconic landscapes and heritage sites captured through watercolor and oil paintings. I create documentative windows to the world, inviting viewers into intertwined natural and cultural spheres. Using my art, I spotlight peoples, places, and things that are in need of continuous nature conservation or cultural preservation efforts. 

Additionally, the images I create are paper trails of my life - a visual diary representing some of my greatest memories and experiences, inveterate studies and personal philosophies. Each piece can be paired with a photograph, diary entry or research in tandem, creating a personal lived experience. 

My art is, overall, a provenance of my own exploratory experiences and a documentation of important natural or cultural sites and objects with the intention to raise awareness to heritage sites, natural landscapes, and cultural identities which continue to be threatened by misunderstanding, malice, and indifference.
