My work represents chunks of water that have seemingly been scooped out of the ocean, pools or lakes and splashed onto the walls, in a controlled but fluid form.
Each piece is hand sculpted, painted and then layered with various pigments, creating two dimensional works of art that appear to have movement and reflective light with changing colors.
I invite you to “swim” around the works of art, as if being immersed in water, and from there, be more consciously aware of how your body interacts with and feels, on an visceral, cellular and spiritual level, while being in, on, under or around any body of water.
