ARTIST STATEMENT

In my art series “OF THE EARTH,” I am creating a story of our planet. The paintings bring the Earth alive, in an organic and abstract way. I want to inspire others to think about not only the beauty of the planet but also how humans are causing irreversible climate change affecting every aspect of the land and oceans. Our land and oceans are transforming, and as our planet continues to warm, we see these effects become more profound and rapid. I am creating a story through painting of our planet but, most importantly, a message about climate change, the human impact on the environment, and what is infinite or finite. This is the story we are writing, the history we are making, and the future we will be living.
