Collection statement:

I am fascinated by the influence our dreams and subconscious have on our lives. In this collection I have attempted to examine and uncover the truths that can be found in these nebulous thoughts. I create these pieces to be a mirror for myself and my viewers to look inward and uncover the internal influences that elude us.
