We go through life, looking for hope and love, finding it in expected and unexpected places. My artwork strives to be a manifestation of the cherished parts of life: hopes, dreams, wishes, loss, and love. It fosters relationships between people, allowing them to spend time within installations inspired by the land: rivers, caves, geodes, stars, flowers, gems, and clouds. My installations embrace radical optimism (everyone can find joy and hope) and indiscriminate hospitality (all are welcome). Comprised of rich, luscious materials, these environments invite viewers to explore and get to know one another in a deeper, more profound way.
