Nature's Whisper: A Journey Through Art and Science
My journey as an artist began with a microscope in childhood, which became my lens for exploring the world. This early fascination led me to study biology in college, cultivating a deep appreciation for the intricate details of life—from the unfurling of a flower's petals to the textured patterns on a lizard's skin. This scientific curiosity, combined with a rich family heritage of artistry spanning generations (great-great-grandfather was a sculptor b. 1830, mother a watercolorist, and father a design engineer), has shaped my unique artistic perspective.
Despite a career detour into finance, I've remained that wide-eyed explorer at heart. I find myself captivated by the ephemeral—the fleeting glisten of morning dew, the dance of light through leaves. These often-overlooked moments of beauty form the raw material of my creative process.
Hydrology, the study of water and its properties is at the center of that world. Its movement and properties can be seen in most of my work. Including “Pulsed Call”, an aluminum and copper sculpture depicting the clicks calls or communication between whales and dolphins.
My artistic techniques are deeply rooted in experimentation and discovery. I delight in reverse-engineering forms, fusing unlikely materials like Murano glass and aluminum, and pushing the boundaries of mixed media. By continually expanding my technical repertoire, I strive to translate the awe-inspiring intricacies of our environment into tangible forms.
Through my work, I invite viewers to pause, observe, and marvel at the beauty that surrounds us every day. My art serves as a bridge between the scientific and the aesthetic, encouraging a renewed appreciation for the natural world and our place within it.
