Statement:

Inspired by the natural world, I explore the tradition of landscape painting through non-traditional materials and techniques. The traditional metalworking processes of welding, sanding, and grinding create textures and produce the illusion of depth through the reflection of light. Reclaimed steel and stainless steel are malleable, plastic and forgiving in nature and I love the way light plays off etched and scratched surfaces of the metal even after being discarded.
