Artist Statement

Jack of all trades, pretty good at a few of them; I love every medium I’ve ever met.

Bio / Description

I was born an artist; I can’t remember a time when I didn’t draw or paint. My formative years as an artist were spent in Brown County Indiana, where I was deeply influenced by the impressionist traditions of the artists who came there to paint before me. I was equally inspired by the presence of every kind of craft imaginable, courtesy of my mother and a few other artsy friends over the years; there’s a peace in crafts like crochet or candle-making or carving, and I like the fact that it’s a form of knowledge that is passed down from generation to generation.
