Artist Statement : This Aspen leaf print is part of my exploration into the delicate veined details of found leaves. While inspired by its botanical subject, the leaf deviates from its natural form as I explore texture in carving and printing. Exploring the cellular details of this Aspen leaf grounded and focused my appreciation for the humble leaf. I have become enthralled with the miniature patterns found in botanics and this carving helped me shrink my attention down to the micro-level.

Artist Statement : This abstract etching emerged from my grief after my father's passing. It represents an unfiltered expression of sorrow and recognition of the loss. The lines and forms flow organically, capturing the emotions and sense of absence I experienced. This piece allowed me to process my grief and stands as a tribute to this difficult period.

Artist Statement : My artwork explores the ideas of social standards and encourages viewers to think about how these standards impact people’s everyday lives. Self-identity, human emotions, contrasting viewpoints, and social standards are major themes in my art. I like to involve people in my artwork because I believe humans feel emotions the most and express them in visual ways ranging from happiness to sadness. I aim to translate those emotions through my artwork to the viewer. I like to produce work that invokes reactions and gets the viewer to think about the content and what the purpose of the art is. If my work makes the viewer feel something or think beyond what is on the canvas, my job as an artist is accomplished. Artwork has the power to bring people together and spark conversation, and in my art I encourage engagement and challenge different perspectives.

Artist Statement : I am deeply and equally in love with American pop culture and the natural world. I also love the collisions of the two, and how they reverberate all around us. The layered images that I unleash are at once humorous, quotidian, oddly beautiful, and pleasingly discomforting. I work consistently in painting, printmaking, drawing, and digital media.
