Statement
I believe art, specifically public art, to be a powerful way to define a place. It transcends aesthetics to become an integral part of a place’s culture and history – a defining visual marker. I strive to create artworks that are “readable” yet complex to engage viewers over time. My sculptures explore shifts in scale, color, and perspective to complement its surroundings to foster curiosity and challenge viewers to contemplate their surroundings. My intent is to create unique powerful artwork that tells the story of a place
