Having lived in both rural and city settings has brought the natural and urban worlds together in my work. The natural world stirs a nostalgic affection and strong sense of identity; at the same time, the excitement of an urban environment and advancing technology often prove to be equally intoxicating. I am lured to re-define the shape of my environment: to explore our shifting relationships with nature, the voice of the elements, the topography of technology and the mapping of time, space and memory.

I am interested in boundaries, where they collide, where they overlap, and where they continuously link forming threads throughout, both conceptually and visually with a specific focus on the gap between the visible and the invisible. I am fascinated by the sometimes conflicting and magical realms between the physical and the imaginary, the sensual and virtual existence.

With our increasing global climate crisis, I am compelled to focus on environmental issues; finding pathways to translate data into personal meaning
and create artwork that moves the viewer emotionally. Through my explorations, often in collaboration with scientists, engineers and community collaborators, a wide range of data types are investigated to link nature with technology, science with mythology and personal identity with universal connections, while addressing our current climate crisis in hopes of finding impactful ways to connect people more deeply with the environments they live in and with each other.

Woven throughout the work, I link my personal experiences of trauma and renewal to those of environmental issues. In part because I connect deeply with the natural world, I seek natural phenomenon to help me understand my path in life, make sense of it all and find meaning. My hope is that viewers, will be able to connect their personal experiences and also find comfort in the maps nature lays out for us. The focus is on the essence of the human condition rather than specific details, the emotions and sentiments we all share, including pain and suffering, joy and hope.

With a focus on artwork in a variety of media from video to projection, sound, installations, sculptural objects, drawing and public works, much of the artwork is based on blurring the separation between an intrinsic approach to working with nature and the cutting edge of New Media.

I seek to re-direct attention to the smaller things in life, exposing the sacred within the mundane and the monumental within the minute. I hope to unveil inherent connections to our surroundings and with that, re-establish intrinsic relationships as thoughts and memories, experiences and environments, continuously appear and reappear in overlapping fragments.
