Artist Statement

I am a light artist. My art begins with the question, “Where does art exist?” Does it exist in my mind at the moment of inception? Or does it result in the manifestation of my ideas through installation, a demonstration of my love of and ability to manipulate light?

Society tends to interpret all existence by minimizing everything to black and white, 1’s and 0’s. Yet, in one beam of light, negative space coexists with an abundance of beauty and infinity. Light is pervasive.

My work appeals to individuals seeking connection with intellectually stimulating as well as spiritually soothing art. While quantum physics, topology and Christianity are strong influences, I do not consider my work defined by any one interest. My art is a bridge between all three communities.
