Artist Statement

I'm a recently graduated studio artist currently living in the Netherlands. My work deals with my personal perception of the world and of existence alone inside my own mind. I portray this through the use of an abstract drawing form (sometimes drawing, sometimes with digital photography) to create animorphic plant-life that represent soulful entities in an uninhabited world. I work primarily with lithography, other forms of printmaking, and drawing.
