The nature of my artwork is the search for clarity. This endeavor is fraught with challenge and distraction, as I find it difficult to escape the haze, static, and digital noise of a typical 21st century life. As I sift through time, memory and place, I search not for stillness, but the presence of tranquility amidst the mess.
