" Making art feels like half presence, half absence, and I can only really think about it after the fact. I'm reminded of this each time I paint, existing in a space of complete immersion, mostly hopeful, and painting that feeling into existence. I want my art to inspire others and connect with their genuine selves. I love to paint portraits and figures and I’m drawn to partnering these figures with aspects of the natural world to illustrate our innate connection. "
