"I look closely at my surroundings and so nature and my immediate

environment informs my work but is not always directly represented.

Sometimes it is a memory or a moment that I try and relate through color or

line or both. I like to pay attention to how edges and color meet up against

one another and what that dynamic brings to the experience of both looking at the work and creating it."
