     My work explores the unsteady relationship between humankind and nature. In current times, this connection is often seen as a battle. A battle in which humanity is currently arming itself with pollutants, byproducts of big industries and the creation of unnatural materials. Through my work, I wish to bring a variety of aspects of this fascinating connection to light. I strive to find and depict visual beauty amid topics which would generally be portrayed in their standard state of unpleasantry. I enjoy the discomfort with which I’m left with when viewing a beautiful picture that includes unexpected and ugly products of society. I have always admired the creation of beautiful things, and I remain loyal to the belief that art should be beautiful before anything else. However, this beauty can be used far beyond the topical means in which most of society embraces it. Yes, Art can be created to depict attractive things, however, it is the unexpected beautiful illustration of ugly byproducts of society that can really cause a stir. 

​

     Trained as a dancer and performer, I’ve spent most of my life using the arts as a way to express myself. Though I once thought of my diversity amongst the arts as a distraction to my work, I now see my history with expression and movement as a powerful catalyst. There is tension, freedom and balance in dance, the same qualities I feel in art. At some points in my work, I invite the presence of line, freeing both its aggressive and flowing nature, while in others I render in a more illusionistic way. When I choreograph, or teach routines, I often call a similar ebb-and-flow to light, responding to the unique voice it projects. This dance intertwines with my continued search for balance and mindfulness, the lines themselves forever searching and striving to find synchronicity.
