About
I grew up in Canyon, Texas, in the flat expanse of the Panhandle, where light often felt like the most spatial thing in the landscape. Sunsets stretched across the horizon, thunderstorms built vivid scenes across the plains, and on clear nights the Milky Way made the sky feel impossibly deep. That landscape shaped the way I see: with an attention to atmosphere, scale, distance, and the feeling that a place can be both enough and not enough at the same time.
My work is rooted in place as a feeling — part memory, part nostalgia, part imagined future. I am drawn first to spaces, and the organisms, figures, and creatures that appear in my work often arrive through the landscapes they occupy. Across mediums, I follow light as both subject and guide, using it to explore atmosphere, longing, and the emotional charge of remembered places.
I move between materials because making is part of how I think. I am interested in how things are constructed, how a process works, and how a material can become a way of solving the distance between an image in my mind and a finished piece. Whether working in stained glass, painting, or scenic forms, I approach each work as a spatial problem, a material experiment, and an attempt to chase a particular quality of light.
