Artist Statement

When considering the subject of my art I tend to look towards my surroundings and sometimes lack thereof.  I look at the history of time through the architecture in buildings and through the nature that surrounds it. I like to show the history of the past and present through different ways in which I perceive the world. I feel that architecture and nature both share the bond of expressing the ever-changing world.

City Statement

Creating a city in a post-apocalyptic, dystopia or utopia setting my mind always wonders to the nature that surrounds the world. In cities, today there are barely any trees or greenery so why not create a city surrounded by nature. Show the ruins of old building and the structure of new buildings being overtaken by nature, encompassing the beauty that the world gives. I am combining architecture and nature to become one. My city is to show the history through the nature growing whether it may be presented as a post-apocalyptic, dystopia, or a utopia city.
