ARTIST STATEMENT

Influenced by historical cartography, symphonic orchestration, architectural drawing and extensive travel, my work engages architecture as a vehicle for expressing uncommon perspectives and vantages of tremendous detail; cultivating a geometric idealism reaching continually into the realm of the infinite. My process, seeking a harmony between reason and intuition, is an evolution of understanding; turning inwards to explore new worlds of form and incongruous expressions of time.
