My goals are to examine life, visually communicate contemporary human stories and share dialogue. I work intuitively, not knowing the exact destination of the piece. Each piece is an experiment. My work is temporary in form, like moments and life. While durability is a priority, experimentation with subject matter, media and its application are paramount. I initiate stories, and provide no definite endings. I gravitate towards simple, problematic stories. I want my work to evoke questions and to prompt novel thought about traditional conditions and mores.
