Artist Statement
My current body of work reimagines the stages of grief and the delicate interplay between life, death, anger, love, and loss. I am fascinated by the multi-layered universes within us, and aim to uncover our deepest emotions, memories, and dreamscapes. My investigation begins with exploring themes in my own life journey, short-term memory loss as a result of multiple concussions in the last decade and losing loved ones in significant ways. With these experiences in tow, I create imaginative scenes that bind together magic and realism, allowing for a more nuanced look at how we move through and experience the multitudes of our existence.
