I create imaginative worlds where there is opportunity for real experience. Foliage is associated with the primitive and with primal instincts- sexuality, aggression and survival. These primal instincts seem to intuitively appear on the canvas when exploring the issues of nature, growth, birth and rebirth. My canvases function as a primal ground in which to explore. Through abstraction from observation of my studio dwelling primarily focusing on many plants, as well as studio equipment and materials, I have begun to expand upon the notion of the real space in which we occupy and the effect of imagination to liberate from this constraint, thus creating a world of possibility. Everyday studio objects have transformed into symbolic images of journey, sacrifice and hope. Plant shapes at times morph into almost human-like forms. I see this act of making as the artistic equivalent of living within our means and making the most of what we have, which is something our society as a whole needs to value.
