Artist
When I go to these isolated beaches to collect my art making materials there are, rarely, more than a handful of beachgoers. My goal is to bring the experience of the beach to the city. It’s important that people remember how special a rugged coastline is, and how it touches the deepest parts of our soul and heals.
The ocean is a sanctuary; a place for the spiritual, poetic and artistic, in each individual, to expand. The visitor that experiences this exhibit soaks up the atmosphere and carries it into the world. The exhibit reveals the ocean as a generous landscape that gives us the intangible things we crave; peace, happiness and oneness. The exhibit contributes to a heightened sense of urgency to protect our wild places.
My paintings and sculpture dive into the same pool of primal inspiration. The symbols are iconic and represent a personal language that communicates through form, image, sound and color. It is a kind of visual music that I compose.
This language uses a range of mediums to convey a universal connection at our fundamental core. We are all connected to each other and to everything in the universe throughout infinity, hence these gestures, along with everyone else’s expressions, speak and sing volumes when we listen.
