My art practice is centered around the exploration of texture, light, and movement found in the natural world. Through drawing with graphite, I strive to capture the beauty of my environment, creating soft surreal clouds and textural works of mountains, beaches, and prairies of the Midwest. Working with graphite allows me to create a sense of depth and movement in my pieces, while also conveying the light and shadow of my subject matter. My goal is to create art that transports the viewer to
another place, providing a moment of respite from the chaos of everyday life. Through my art, I hope to encourage viewers to take time to appreciate and explore the beauty of the natural world.
