My work begins with a pursuit of wholeness—the way things were originally designed to live in harmony. I’m captivated by the places where nature, humanity, and creative purpose intersect, especially when those relationships have been strained or forgotten. The ocean, with all its ecosystems, mysteries, cultures, and histories, becomes both a backdrop and a teacher. Through nautical themes, mixed media, and unconventional materials, I explore what stewardship, restoration, and human flourishing might look like in our modern world.

I often work with wood and retired saw blades—materials that represent the meeting point between the natural world and the built world. They carry the tension between industry and environment, progress and preservation—and they also hold hope. To me, they symbolize that restoration is always possible, even in places we’ve written off. My art aims to make space for that tension and remind us of that hope.

I see “conservation” not just as ecological intervention, but as a stewardship and a way of life—a worldview of sustainability, care, and generosity. Stewardship extends beyond endangered species; it includes cultures, communities, and the dignity of every person. I believe we were intentionally created in the image of a creative God, and when we live from that design—using our gifts, caring for what’s entrusted to us, exploring with curiosity—we experience life more fully. My art is a celebration of that truth: that imagination, innovation, and restoration can be acts of worship.
