My affinity for nature has influenced my art and is a consistent thread in my work. As the world is in constant flux and changing, I see there is more of an urgency to address the impact these changes have on our environment. As Tennessee Williams said: “When something is festering in your memory or your imagination, laws of silence don’t work. It’s just like shutting a door and locking it on a house on fire in hope of forgetting that the house is burning.”  Everything we do has consequences because everything is connected, so there is a seat at the table for art to address the current issues affecting our environment and hopefully, the act of changing the world can be possible through the power of art.

Investigating contemporary issues of the environment is for me a source of inspiration for creative innovations to create art.
