As an artist I see myself as a guide first and foremost. I work with fluid mediums because they are unpredictable and it is my role only to guide their movement and expression. Similarly, when a patron communicates what they see in a piece, I believe an important exchange is taking place between artist and viewer. They are often asking my permission to see what is in their imagination. Similar to how I follow the lead of the inks when painting, I enjoy following the lead of the viewer, always supporting their unpredictable imagination. It is my hope that my artwork ignites curiosity in the viewer about themselves and their imagination.
