Artist statement:
"
I am constantly fascinated by the fine line between science and faith, the conscious and subconscious, the physical and metaphysical and the bittersweet emotion that occurs when one journey ends yet another begins.

The more I paint, the more I realize how this continuous juxtaposition permeates every aspect of life. I see it played out in our hopes and dreams. I witness it in the aspirations of today’s revolutions.

And the result of my awareness encompasses every part of my collection. You can see it in centrifugal movement of my Mosaic Energy Series or how the eye wanders in my Damascus Steel series.

My work amplifies our constant state of flux, showing how the universe in every way is on the edge of a continuous event horizon."
