Artist's Statement
My work includes acrylic paintings, charcoal drawings, and pyrography pieces inspired by the natural world. Over the last couple of years, I have been creating layered landscapes that interact with linear forms. For me, these layers serve as a metaphor for the unfolding of a divine plan. I have also been incorporating math equations or physical diagrams in my work to show the consistencies in a world that continues to change. Ultimately, my art has become a way of getting to know the world and its Creator, allowing me to investigate the way a plan can remain present in a world defined by variability. My goal is to create work that captures this paradox and offers viewers a space for contemplation.
