Artist Statement

Through my work I attempt to make connections pertaining to what we reflect on when we contemplate the spiritual. There are always questions in regard to what lies between what we know to be a truth and what remains an unknown. The questions we ask ourselves regarding the spiritual are certainly universal human questions and not limited to only one culture but an underlying element of being human.

Prairie landscapes, flowing rivers and night skies all provide spaces of quiet mystery for me and it is here that I search for clues of the elusive. Through drawing I attempt to make visible a belief that there exists something beyond what can be seen. My work provides for me a vehicle to research and envision the non-physical. I attempt to envision that which I hope to understand, that which language cannot explain and what science and mathematics seek to discover, a knowing that exists beyond one’s limits.
