Statement
I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire. As a child I spent most of my time interacting with nature or viewing it through the large picture windows from inside the house that my father built. I am attracted to the details within a landscape and identify with individual objects and specimen as a way to explore existential quandaries, human experience, and nature’s design.
