Artist Statement: 

​

City dwellers do not live separate from nature, no matter how much they might wish otherwise.  The dogs and cats in our houses, the raccoons in our yards and the starlings on our power lines; all remind us that the wild and divine slip through the cracks in our urban armour each day. 

​

Anthropocene-era living is a total collision with the nature, both inner and outer. My art offers the tools to prepare for that crash and not just survive it, but thrive in the aftermath. To separate from nature brings sickness and in unity, healing.

​

I illustrate the dream of a peaceful co-existence between the forces of nature and the needs of humans. The aim is not victory, but balance. I paint a world of balance - between the city and the wild, between sadness and joy, between a burning present day and a verdant, thriving future. I paint hope.
