Artist Statement
Nature is both fragile and brutal, as I learned growing up on an Ohio farm. With the impact of climate change, it is even more evident. This reverence for both the tender beauty and the frightening chaos in nature drives my work. My current work is a series of painted paper collages that fragment the landscape to convey the beauty, vulnerability and chaos. Too few care to save it from an uncertain future - it is all in a state of fragile balance.
