I am currently interested in dichotomy and relationships between the beautiful and the unsettling; evocative imagery which both disturbs and intrigues. I like pushing the viewer to respond to the discomfort they might experience when interacting with my work, as well as interrogate the roots of their associations with symbols. Nature seems to be a reoccurring trend in my recent work, reflecting my home in the woods of northern Wisconsin.
I am drawn to organic media, such as fumage (also known as fire painting). There is something invigorating about working with a medium that cannot be controlled, only manipulated.
