ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic practice is fueled by a deep reverence for the natural world and its Creator. I aim to translate my constant sense of awe into visual form, using art as a medium to honor the intricacies of Creation.
Living as a printmaker, sculptor, aspiring tattoo artist, and follower of Christ, I draw inspiration from the beauty around me, allowing me to reflect this beauty through my art. Printmaking has given me the opportunity to involve designs and traditions from folk art and American traditional tattooing, informing my stylistic depictions of animals and plants as biblical symbols. Through metal sculpture I satisfy my desire to work tactilely and mathematically, creating three-dimensional excerpts from nature and humanity or even functional objects that assist me in my artistic practice. Using cast metals through this process echoes the eternal nature of my God and allows me to celebrate the permanence of symbols repeated in both my prints and sculptures. The process of casting and refining metal serves as a representation of the divine transformation that comes with knowing and following Jesus, creating a form that has the potential to exist for generations.
My life as an artist serves as a love letter to my Creator, shedding light on the wonder of this world in a subtle, intimate, and eclectic way. The act of creating art, transforming an object or material into something new, is a reflection of the transformative nature of my God and a celebration of how He has changed my life. The purpose of my life is to give glory to God, and my life’s work in the arts is not mine, but His.
