Artist Statement & Biography

« My work lies in my fascination of the transient interchange of human existence.

I examine seemingly banal journeys that incorporate the real and surreal, touching on emotions of sensitivity, fragmentation and latent intégration that portray an immanent conceptulization of my view of the world . »
