At its foundation my work is about personal dichotomies: female and male, adult and child, humanity and Nature, mind and body, history and the present, life and death. For me, it often encapsulates all of these at once. I see each piece as a commentary on these subjects, but also as self-portraits embodying them, both personally and as an artist. For the latter, references to journey and struggle, art history, separation, isolation, and symbolic decapitation, all speak to my artistic path. The reoccurring frontiersman is a proxy representing me as an artist – moving forward, exploring – but also touches on my family’s colonial past, America’s fraught history, and environmental destruction. And lastly, a sense of humor and of the surreal to link the work together and offer entry. As with so much art, these thoughts and interpretations that flow through me as I work may not all be accessible to the average viewer. With them I wish for a bond of strangeness and estrangement: of the impossibility of perfect resolution and the difficulty of being human.

“Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence.” - George Santayana
