ARTIST STATEMENT
My images are generated from perceived and imagined landscapes as a way to explore the interaction between place/space, inhabitant(s) and moment(s). Particularly moved by the formal language of landscape, I am curious about what I might learn by gathering clues as I wander the alleyways and trails. How do external landscapes map internal spaces and how does internal memory play itself out in the way we read the bark and grasses? Within the landscape exists infinite juxtapositions, orders, and relationships. I make work for momentary pleasure, momentary sadness, & the fleeting spaces in between.
I am currently pursuing a Master's in Landscape Architecture at Virginia Tech's Washington Alexandria Architecture Center.
I like to collaborate.
Hablo español y me gusta colaborar.
Je parle un petit peu de français aussi et j'aime collaborer.
I am available for private and public commissions, as well as private and group lessons in painting and drawing.
