Artist Statement

My work is inspired by my experience growing up on this island. For me, Nantucket has always been a place that reflects the cycle of nature. Living in this town bares witness to bustling, vibrant, and abundant summers that inevitably turn to quiet, grey, isolating winters, and back again. This focus brings to light several themes including the passage of time, wildlife, the nature around us, ever-present juxtapositions and the threads that connect it all together, I choose to employ techniques in mixed media to symbolize parts coming together to form a whole.
