Artist Statement:

The exploration of the built environment has been the focal point for my latest impressions. My concepts aim to deconstruct the fabricated world, leaving the viewer with a fleeting experience. Weathered depictions of grimy surfaces contrasted by rich textures attempt to capture a sense of vitality amongst bleak structures. Within my work I strive to embody the human effort to create a lasting imprint on society in our otherwise ephemeral existence. The manifestation of change, growth, and regeneration symbolizes the past, present, and future. How do we engage in our constructed environment, how do we find the means to progressively thrive, and paramount, how do we leave behind an impression of our actuality.
