Born in Canton, Ohio, I have always been captivated by the power of nonverbal expression, finding it far more compelling than words. After spending my formative years in Ohio, Arizona, and Idaho, I ultimately settled in the Pacific Northwest, where I pursued my artistic aspirations at Cornish College of the Arts, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I resided in Seattle for 17 years before a brief interlude in Florida led me to my current home and studio in Stockholm, Sweden. While I occasionally engage with concrete and objective subject matter, these elements are often layered within abstraction, serving to enhance the presence of the primary components of my art. Their creations stem from a blend of emotional and visual perceptions, intentionally crafted to remain open to interpretation, allowing viewers to engage with the work in a deeply personal and subjective manner. Nature and its organic forms remain a perennial source of inspiration, with color playing a pivotal role in shaping my artistic expression. Reflecting the ebb and flow of life itself, my work is characterized by constant evolution and growth, an ever-changing dialogue between me and the world around me.
