Artist Statement:

"Previous work in the automotive industry as a technical illustrator influenced my strong interest in geometric form. Inspiration comes from capturing surrounding structures with an intriguing interactive play of light, shadow, and pattern. I seek to find a unique perspective inviting the viewer to observe the simple and complex shapes found in the world around them."
