Artist’s Statement

Flowers choose me, different ones arriving with each season, deciding my palette before I do. Their color, shape, and texture come already perfected by something beyond my hand. As I animate, petals wilt and curl, some faster than others, and every frame becomes a negotiation with impermanence. A flower needs no translation. It is a language every living thing already knows. Our conversation with nature is endless. My hope is that my art brings us home to something we never really left.
