What it means to be human

This growing body of work represents a lifetime of thinking and observing. I’ve had a fascination with the Anthropological world since I was a small child and my curiosity about humans began with family. Throughout my art practice, I am seeking to understand human experience and my place in it with greater clarity. It seems that as we understand and comprehend with enhanced insight, we learn to accept the difficult and embrace the beautiful in greater abundance and with more grace, patience, and wisdom.
