My paintings are composed of man-made environments that are in the process of being reclaimed by nature. Using the languages of image and text, my work often utilizes and recontextualizes advertising techniques. A central theme in my work is the investigation of the relationship between painting, propaganda, and the American West in contemplation of questioning the idea of separateness among mankind and nature. These relationships continue to have strong relevance to me over time and is a thread that I continue to follow in my practice.

I am inspecting the shift of the western landscape through painting, and what has been lost and gained through human corruption of natural space and technological advancement. My subjects are in a transformative state and exist at the discretion of the elements. Figures may be present in the works, and even if absent they have left their trace in the environment.

In my work, I am questioning idealized beauty though romanticizing the cycles of life, death, decay, and deconstruction. I elevate often overlooked locations and cultural relics into icons and subjects of contemplation. My intention is to stimulate dialogue about our societal priorities and examine current social, economic, political, and environmental issues.

My aim is to study signage in our environment, a language we are already familiar with, and present what our current landscape looks like through an unconventional perspective. I am contemplating how I may visually merge popular culture languages with landscape, seascape, and skyscape imagery while juxtaposing aesthetics of capitalism with environmental advocacy.

I am continuing to explore the human condition in relation to society and environment through my own lens of observing the western landscape. Focusing on the issue of health- mental, physical, public, and environmental, I am making work that is called to my attention by life experience. I am motivated to heal aspects within me and without, while considering both are of the same. Research is an ongoing engagement to guide the content of the work which focuses on the intersection of industry, science and eco-spirituality while considering homeostasis on a micro and macro scale. Through my practice, I reconsider the way that humans interact with the environment and each other as our hybridized landscape progresses.
