STATEMENT
My work explores color, shape, and light through the landscapes of the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains—regions that have shaped both my sense of place and artistic vision. Growing up within these environments, I became attuned to the rhythms of Arkansan terrain: shifting light across rolling hills, dense sprawling kudzu, and power lines stretching quietly across the horizon.
Living in the Anthropocene, my work examines the subtle tensions between natural environments and the human-made structures that intersect them; architectural forms emerging within forests and pathways guiding movement through otherwise untamed spaces. Moments where geometric structures and refracted light intersect with wilderness reveal traces of human presence within landscapes we often imagine as untouched. These encounters form a fragile equilibrium between the built and the wild, which lies at the center of my practice.
Working across painting, printmaking, photography, and installation, I translate close observations of landscape and the built environment into compositions that emphasize color relationships, spatial tension, and rhythmic pattern.
