Alaska is my lifeblood. From the many years living in the Aleutians, to working summers in Glacier Bay, to hiking and camping across the Kenai Peninsula. Each beautiful moment, each struggle is defined by the untamed forces of this wild place.

As a child, I once panicked when an octopus got entangled in my legs, I felt exhilaration when a Puffin flew into our skiff and I set it free. I’ve spent sweaty stinky afternoons scrubbing out fish holds, and contented afternoons watching raven’s traverse the gusting of storms.

These moments are the foundational stones of my creative spirit. They live in all the important parts of my being. As an artist, that is what I aim to express. To spill forth from my hands,  representational forms of Alaskan life. It is what brings me joy, what lifts me up, what sets my spirt soaring. And hopefully, that is felt through my works.
