Through the art of storytelling, human kind attempts to understand the universe and divine our place and purpose within it. Our elemental narratives draw from a communal well of primal imagery which forms the basis of a shared subconscious language spoken through our dreams and manifested in our creative expressions. Building upon these foundational archetypes, I create works of the imagination that speak to the human need for narrative while exploring the subjective nature of art and the symbiosis of image and story.
