My work often evokes feelings of longing, alienation and the search for connection, but is imbued with a playful humor that balances its poignancy. I invite the viewer into a world both beautiful and strange, where the drama of everyday life plays out among flying dogs and stranded ships, while inquisitive creatures dot ethereal landscapes.
