Creative with a passion for visual design, user experience, and process improvements.ARTIST STATEMENTMy art is an exploration of the simple, the sculptural, and the peaceful, embodied in 3-D mixed-media wall pieces. Each creation invites you to embrace the interplay of light and shadows, which transform and dance gracefully throughout the day, ensuring that the art is ever-changing in the light.My journey into this art form began as a challenge, an invitation to explore the artistic potential of a single sheet of bendable plywood. I am inherently more a sculptor than a painter, and this unfamiliar canvas presented an intriguing puzzle. I constructed the flexible plywood "canvas" by securing it to a wave-cut 1x6 frame. While rearranging my workshop, I moved 20-foot steel rods above the curved wood surface. And in that moment, a remarkable revelation unfolded before me. Shadows bent and flowed across the undulating canvas, forming captivating lines and shapes. It was a serendipitous discovery, a "happy accident," which has since evolved into the mesmerizing three-dimensional landscapes I create today.My art draws its inspiration from the innate simplicity of nature's contours and the ever-evolving interplay of light and shadow within the landscape. The current series, in particular, is deeply influenced by my recent tour through western Nebraska. The rolling hills and expansive horizons left an indelible mark on my artistic sensibilities, infusing my work with the tranquil grandeur of wide-open spaces and the elegance of nature's lines.In these pieces, I strive to capture the essence of those wide-open spaces, translating the tranquil grandeur of nature's landscapes into tactile, sculptural forms. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadows evolve and dance upon the canvas, imbuing each piece with an ever-changing, dynamic quality that mirrors the natural world's ebb and flow.Immerse yourself in this journey through landscapes and find solace in the tranquility they bring to your space.CLIFTON STRENGTHSStrategic | Relator | Intellection | Learner | Responsibility
