Simply put:
I'm interested in finding visually pleasing motifs. Particularly things that spark the imagination and start you (the viewer) on your own stories and imaginings. I want to give you somewhere to start, not fill the spaces for you.
As an artist I have always been deeply moved by and interested in the ocean. The beauty of life and movement under the water has always sparked my imagination, fed my curiosity and given me great joy. It is our last known wilderness, our opportunity for great discoveries on this planet—Therefore the tragedy in the Gulf is breaking my heart. The common destruction that humanity is wrecking upon the ocean is having an evolutionary impact, changing the oceans and leaving our mark on the creatures in it forever. I feel a great deal of despair and that sometimes my only hope left is that life adapts, changes, evolves and finds a way to survive great destruction.
