I often begin new work without any clear intention or purpose. I start by gathering reference material and draw frenetically, following my intuition and then suddenly - certain themes emerge. The power of phenomena, human emotion, and the universality of flora frequently appear in my work. I play with likeness and contradictions hoping to find connection.
