Artwork that honors stories, mankind is a product of our past; each of our individual stories has in some way been handed down to us. We have based our belief of who we are on family stories, photographs, and our growing consciousness of the world around us. I explore mankindâs connection to the past. As our ancestors did, I look to the earth for balance. I utilize imagery inspired by local petroglyph rock carvings as a symbolic human link to the earth. My paintings reflect the worldâs growing awareness of the ecological impact of our lifestyle.
