ARTIST STATEMENT
Art is more than conveying a story and my practice comes from where I am emotionally. I wish to evoke a sense of wonder with my art. With my artworks, I invite to pause, contemplate and be in the given moment. I challenge the observer to stop and appreciate nature, relationships, and life. I capture moments and details, which show the beautiful fragility of the world. I am interested in how a single fragment reveals the whole. To the unhurried eye, the more detailed, intricate levels of my work are revealed, which bring it to a whole new level.
