Early 2000's - My MFA Work from Miami University
My graduate school work was an exploration of fragmented spaces. It was in the MFA season that I began to think about spaces being tangled or nested within other spaces. To me, this was a metaphor for wormholes or portals - the mysterious quantum physics terms for multiple realities or dimensions.

2008 - 2014
As I began my new job at UNI as a painting and drawing professor, my ideas began to change slightly from the simple "wormhole" or "portal" metaphors to include art historical references. I enjoy linking my own personal ideas with the history of art to create a complexity that transcends the centuries.

2015 - 2025
More recent work is largely influenced by a one-month residency in Berlin at GlogauAIR in 2016, where I realized that a central tenet of my work was - and probably always will be - the Sublime. I had studied the Sublime as a philosophical and art historical theme while in graduate school, but I began to make my own statements by curating the REVERB exhibitions at UNI and Bowling Green State U in 2013 and 2014. These events helped solidify my interest in new modes of the Sublime.
