In my art practice, I explore the powerful role color plays in our associations with the world around us. Throughout my life, I have always processed experiences, emotions and people as color. As I grew older,  I realized my interconnection with color had a name - a neurological condition called synesthesia, where one sensory input is processed as another within the brain. Color has always been the lens through which I view the world, and it's the most succinct way I am able to communicate emotion, memories and experiences. My relationship with color is the origination point from which all my work is created.

My artwork is rooted in feeling, research and practice. My work explores personal experience and our emotional connections to the natural world. I create installations that combine paintings, found objects, light, and space to evoke feelings and memories, while my books, sculptural objects, and online media use color, illustration, and research and draw on emotional ties to encourage reflection and action. Color is the primary medium for my artwork.

The subjects I choose to make work about require a personal investment from the viewer. I often draw on cross-disciplinary research in areas of environment, psychology, natural sciences, and technology to give my work a richer context and greater impact. I invite emotion to exist within this partnership of research and representation by way of concept, embodiment and visual aesthetics. 

I believe art has the power to inform our perceptions and inspire us to move forward in new ways. I’m deeply invested in my work and see myself as the primary viewer, always reflecting on my own experiences and connections as I create. By drawing from these experiences, creating deeply touching personal experiences that resonate with existing connections in ourselves, with others and with the world around us, I seek to inspire growth and connection. Ultimately, I hope that my artwork profoundly moves viewers to look inward, reflect, and move forward in more thoughtful and connected ways.
