I persistently challenge myself to see how far my imagination can soar on earth and through space by contemplating ideas about time, moments, and overall experiences. I find myself overwhelmed by the limitless possibilities that can be explored and realized as our souls gradually evolve towards a higher level of potential. As this evolution plays out inside of our minds, we continue to create and interact with the constructed, visible world around us. I draw on these visual references, as well as symbols, icons, and metaphors to inform my paintings from a philosophical and analytical point of view. The process of creating my work leads me to question ideas about societal laziness, when clearly there is an ever-changing-machine-mind of information present in all of us that can be tapped into at any given time to promote greater understanding and awareness of the world. When I look at all of the animate and inanimate objects in my surroundings, I continually see opportunities to create unique objects. By using watercolor and colored pencils on paper, I attempt to morph these unique objects into a flowing, cohesive visual aesthetic that creates a semi-abstract, organic representation of the familiar in an unrecognizable way
