Important to my work is the awareness of the interconnectedness of the living and non-living universe, and that we as humans are included in this system.  Charles Krebs, a distinguished ecologist noted, “Ecologists rarely have much to say in policy decisions, and there is a danger that as scientists we may be used as technicians to monitor the demise of the world’s ecosystems.”* I hope that artists are not relegated to visualizing that same demise.  Instead, it is my desire as an artist to raise ecological and social consciousness, to reach an ever-widening audience through personal and observable experiences.  In my work, I strive to challenge culture by considering history and personal beliefs in an attempt to represent and offer new ideas on how our world functions.
