Artist's Statement (original)

Artist's Statement (original)

I use the medium of photography to explore the spiritual, psychological, and artistic impacts and implications of the convergence of often multiple sources of light into one luminous moment. In contrast to a single source, my artwork is a statement of the existence and validity of many sources of light, inspiration, and nutrition for the soul. In my art, the artist herself also becomes a source of light; nature improves the artist, but the artist also improves nature.

Unique postures and unusual shifts in movement are moments of expansion, potential, and change. My art intends to use these wild, uncontrolled moments to overcome social conditioning and bring healing through unexpected states of appreciation and new understanding. For me, in a disjointed and chaotic world, working with nature provides an opportunity to turn away from conflict and limitations of the human condition, to shift and expand consciousness.
