My world-building uses the landscape as a theatrical set for narratives to unfold. Encompassing painting, assemblage, drawing and printmaking, I fabricate an imaginative impression of place that is observed from the real world.

In a consumerist culture that values exploitation of the land, I hope my work re-awakens a sense of wonder, restoring connection to the natural world.
