My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium so I can explore multiple techniques – occasionally ancient techniques. Since the beginning I’ve been experimenting in combining a variety of techniques in one that don’t necessarily go together with a range of elements; Photography; Existing Artworks; and Patterns. Putting a lot of thought into my concepts and research in my structures assists me in understanding what I’m trying to accomplish. The research is mainly a vocabulary of imagery – putting things into focus. It’s very choreographed from the initial idea.

The intention is to open up about my wiccan heritage and express my communion with Nature. Being a believer of the Wiccan faith is something that I do not share to others. It’s part of my personality and identity, yet it’s this isolated, solitary, secret that I shield. I purposely draw all my attention to Mother Nature, witnessing how she can completely change her apparel and with that her entire personality. She is an incredible persona that inspires us all not just my organic faith. I incorporate this in my work – there is a subtle use of visual symbolism that leads to another origin, without protesting views or teachings, its subtle enough for people to relate in some areas but some can question and then learn more. 

One thing that I adore about manufacturing my structures is the fact that I can be entirely consumed with the process and embody the worlds I create. And it shows with how intricate and carefully manipulated my works are.
