 A personal investigation of the intricate and fluid margins of memory and identity, my work addresses the nature of interpersonal connections and our place in the environment.  Drawn from my insular childhood my work investigates social and familial constructs, as it questions and illuminates shared identity and individual autonomy.

My most recent body of prints combines imagery that explores both my rural western upbringing and the cultural, social, and environmental issues that currently plague the region. Water and land use, species extinction, and particularly my own attempts to find a comfortable sense of place, all play a role in the series. Ladders and stairs are re-occurring images that symbolizes a journey or passage. My -and every person’s -choice; to ascend or descend, stay static, rise above, or go backward.
