Artist Statement

I have had the privilege to live all over the United States and internationally.  I have ventured from the rustic urban landscape of Chicago to the barren and rugged high desert of California, the open plains of Oklahoma to the iconic Pacific Ocean in Monterey, California. I have lived deep in the heart of the American Capital and in the murder capital of the world, El Salvador. Everywhere I have had the privilege to live has changed me and strengthened my artistic vision.

I have a deep reverence for each place that I have lived and experienced. What I have found is that no matter where I live in the world, the barren high desert or behind the high concrete walls of the most dangerous place in the world, there is beauty all around. My art captures the discrete and obvious beauty of everyday life: the fabrics that drape our bodies and homes, the urban grit of a city, and the green and floral beauty that finds it way through the high walls of living in El Salvador.
