My art is an expression of my inner self. To understand this body of work one must utilize their imagination, releasing ones grip on reality to believe in figments. I try to remind my audience of the myths, legends, and symbols that were so important to the cultures of the past while adding a part of myself to the work.

Every culture has stories and shared stories make a people into a community. I find inspiration in the stories of the Celtic and Native American cultures. Child of Lir, a black and white photograph, shows the influences of Celtic myth. In the myth, "The Fate of the Children of Lir," a stepmother changes her four stepchildren into swans. The sister takes care of her three brothers through the harsh trials they face. Child of Lir evokes the myth, creating an illusion of innocence that retains a sense of control overlaid by the grace of the rising swan symbolizing comfort and peace with its soft forms.

Mythical creatures hold meanings past down over time, evolving as people reinterpret these creatures of fantasy by overlaying their own dreams on them. A dragon has been seen as a symbol of power. This is portrayed in Draco though it is softened in the playful movement of the figure. This is to make one pause and reflect on an alternative reality and to go beneath the surface of the material world. The hues of purple, blue, and green are used to emphasize a dream-like state, a daydream changing fantasy into believable figments.
