Drawing is the bedrock of my artistic practice. I’m also very flexible, in that I am capable of numerous, vastly different visual styles and generally work on several different projects simultaneously. I’ve come to describe myself as drawing-based, mixed-media object maker who is also a reasonably knowledgeable amateur naturalist. I can basically draw or render just about anything, and work with a wide variety of media and materials, including digital media. I currently have two bodies of work in progress. One explores issues affecting marine ecosystems, including over fishing and the proliferation of plastic garbage which enters the food chain at every level. The other body of work is more colorful and playful, and features objects that kind of look like a cross between scaffolding, functionless tools, and strangely animate laundry detergent bottles.
