Artist Statement

“I am inspired by the transporting qualities of nature. Mixing vague shapes and almost-tangible photographs of organic elements, I create dream-like landscapes enhanced through layers of photography, wax and paint. My aim is to create work that takes the viewer to a new place, a door to a world both sensual and contemplative.”
