My art, whether abstract, figurative, or combinations of both, explores dimensional vibrations through the use of line, color, symbolism, and form. Geometry, particle physics, holonomic brain theory, mythology, and Jung's theories of synchronicity and the collective unconscious all inform my work.

I explore the symbolic dream state through abstract forms. I strive to reveal the deeper dimension(s) and innate spirituality that exist in the here and now of every ordinary moment.
