I strive to express the relationship between humanity and nature, humanity and earth, and humanity and the universe through my art. Recent studies show scientific proof that living as intellectual humans in the universe are more rare and unique than we’ve imagined. I contemplate the meaning of human existence and its connection to the universe, as well as exploring the origin of our planet and its future in the universe.

I use images and symbols found in space and the ocean. My frequent use of round and circular objects reflects the cycle of life and their common occurrence in the universe. The work on canvas is based in oil paint. Mixed medium are used in subsequent layers to accentuate each layer, creating with each stratum a link to the past, present and future. The work on paper is on the other hand, painted without layers using Japanese pigment, Sumi ink (traditional Japanese writing ink), and pencils. I drop ink and paint very carefully, to create and express a beauty of life with accidents and chances.

The varied colors, fine lines, and organic shapes in my art reflect my sensibilities and emotions. These feelings are often uncertain and intimidated by the challenges the future may bring, but ultimately inspired and hopeful

Synchronicity

We, as humans, have invented so many tools and developed so many technologies in order to adjust to new environs. These amazing abilities stem from a strong innate desire to adapt, essentially, a tenacious desire to survive.
Every living thing experiences death. Every being on earth, even the earth itself, one day, will die. Humans are constantly creating ways to deter or put off death. "Synchronicity", for me, is the development of new methods for survival simultaneously in different places on earth due to a congregative unconsciousness. We are all connected. We all desire the same thing: to stop death from coming as quickly or as often as it does. We all separately come up with similar ideas to do this, to extend and be better equipped for the inevitable.
Conversely, some humans work against one another in a warped attempt to survive. The wars we fight against our 'enemies' are supposed to perpetuate the human race. Wars may strengthen small factions or tribes, but do not encourage survival for the entire human race. I think we all know that war is not the answer.
When people realize and embrace the synchronicity that exists when it comes to survival, it will increase our connection and strengthen our ability to peacefully continue life as part of the entire universe.
