ARTIST’S STATEMENT

“See Life” is a series of highly detailed drawings and paintings of ocean creatures based on my interest in scuba diving..

My wave paintings are informed by science and reflect an interest in what patterns created by waves tell us. My paintings are snapshots of wave interference patterns, which occur when two or more waves occupy the same place and time.
