Public art is an important element to developing a unique identity for both neighborhoods and cities because artwork can help solidify a sense of place and local identity. I believe it also contributes to the future of these areas as it affects the people who live in, visit, and commute to and for those areas. 

​

I create the kinds of public art which encourage viewers to look deeper at the imagery and ask new questions. I believe in creating public art that shapes how people think in that it challenges them through encounters with the unusual to think new thoughts and perhaps even behave in new ways. 

​

In this regard, public art should not simply beautify or decorate but contribute to the lives of locals by enriching their imaginations and allowing everyone to see the essential beauty of diversity and biodiversity. 

​

My public art includes divergent narratives which lead into the dark forest down unforaged paths to recover unsung stories, unusual acquaintances, and introduce fresh directives and inspirational wild truths.
