Blurring the boundaries between sculpture and painting, abstraction and figuration, body and machine, my paintings and sculptures invite viewers into an exploration of humanity’s relationship with the environment. I paint plants, environmentally essential landscapes, and observational paintings of my metal sculptures in the studio. Informed by the forms and patterns of flora and fauna, the painted sculptures stand outdoors in solidarity with nature. On wood panels and recycled metal surfaces, I paint dynamic plants and warped scans of my satellite image and geological flow paintings that depict climate change-affected locations including Antarctica. My art reflects Romanticism's ideas of the sublime in nature and are reminiscent of the Hudson River School's landscapes which depicted the effects of industrialization and inspired conservation efforts. Similarly, my artworks invite a re-evaluation of humanity's intertwinement with the non-human. For example, paintings of my the metalworks suggest mollusks’ and arthropods’ shells and their evolutionary durability, as well as geological movements. My sculptures and paintings celebrate the beauty of ecologically vital species and landscapes, as they also emulate the curves of the human form to underscore our interconnectedness with nature.
