About

Artist's Statement

 

My work explores themes of change and evolution; environmental, social and personal. I am fascinated by finding parallels in seemingly juxtaposed objects and life forms, exploring this concept through imagery of growth, development and randomness. Specifically, I work with the idea of destruction and degradation, and new life that can come out of these things. I also have a fascination with the provocative, and work with themes of human sexuality and pleasure- pushing the creative boundary in my current illustrations.

I realize these visions through a variety of media, primarily illustration and relief printing.
