Artist's Statement

Sometimes it seems as though inspiration strikes at random. I find myself inspired by the smallest of things, like the change in light throughout the day, or the way the body moves under fabric. At other times my art is a response to the greatest challenges we face as a society. I explore issues of gender and equality and the struggle to save the earth.

My work is reflective of the things I find most beautiful about the world, all the things I would like to change, and the delicate balance between them.
