My artwork is dedicated to promulgating an ecological ethic and the healing, renewal, and long-term vitality of ecological systems. Trained in both the arts and sciences, my practice is interdisciplinary by nature. I believe that culture plays a most significant role in the creation of an ecologically sustainable future.
I aim to create work that touches the heart while challenging the mind, engendering sensual involvement while encouraging creative thinking. Through the development of new metaphors, narratives, frameworks and dialogues, I hope that my work can play an integral role in healing ecosystems and providing visions for the future.
