I explore the opposite of entropy: creating and revealing structure over time from a foundation of chaos as a means to guide ourselves through our lives and through the world.

I grew up spending countless hours in solitude in the forests around me, in different parts of the United States. The unique light and stark geometry of the Pacific Northwest mountain forests inspires my current work in painting and printmaking. Rather than paint the landscape literally, I pull shapes and form from the landscape for my compositions and pull hues from my emotional connection to the landscape for color.

With these invented landscapes as the initial foundation, I use both printmaking and painting as different starting points on a journey to the same destination: the exploration of interference and disruption, and the disruption of the real and the organic by the unreal, the artificial, and the inorganic.
