Artist Statement:
My work explores the realms of connection and how our striving for intimacy affects our relationships to ourselves, nature, and the world around us. In my photography and encaustic I attempt to portray time as malleable and use visual metaphor to evoke a sense of how the "ordinary" things in life can bring us to larger truths of the struggle between fulfillment and longing, grasping and letting go.

I began working in encaustic to augment my photography and bring it to new artistic and aesthetic levels. In the process I discovered that encaustic’s luminosity, layers, and levels of opacity, mirror the themes I am exploring of the balance between chaos and control.
