There is an invisible force that governs all that is natural; from an energy that nurtures growth, progress and evolution to a counteracting darkness that tries to destroy all that is good. It is all about experiencing life, nature and the monster of being what is human.
From the beginning of my creative practice to the present, life and nature have been common themes in a few of my major graduate works and personal projects.
Let me take you on a journey from where my career first started till now, as we explore my life, its works and the natural forces that push and pull on my creativity.

Foundations of a Good Life starts Young.

Love and Growth
Using the idea of plant roots and a ball of yarn, the illustration represents a life that needs to be started from a strong foundation. Like good roots that can hold up a tree to bear fruit, or that knitted first row that holds together that ideal scarf, life is about creating nourishment and warmth. Strong love that nurtures growth should start from a young age, all the way to old.
