"Primary" is about not only primary colors but about primal instincts and behaviors. The rising up of mankind. Inspired by my hiking travels across the United States my stacked rock, cairn, collages symbolize staying balanced and following your path in life. Using primarily inks I create each stone independently bringing them together to form a cohesive piece. In North America cairns are often used to guide hikers on trails. When we break cairns down farther we see the stones are in a delicate balance with each other unifying to create a higher purpose. If one stone is out of place the entire structure will collapse. Guidance, balance and unity. This is what my cairns symbolize. We must reflect upon these principles alone but also on a larger scale. I want the viewer to enter my piece and consider the symbiotic relationship we must have within ourselves but also with the earth. The scope of my work is an awareness of the importance of living harmoniously with nature.

I am a self taught artist and began my entire art journey in December of 2018. It was the first time I had painted since I was a kid. I had always loved art but through the years my journey took me down a different path. Using primarily inks I create mixed media collage cairns (stacked rocks) as a symbol of balance, guidance and unity. I love experimenting with a variety of techniques in my pieces using vibrant colors of various types of inks. I prefer inks because of their fluidity. I use marker, alcohol and tattoo inks in most of my pieces. Unlike putting paint on a canvas, the inks can be unpredictable which keeps me ready to adapt and change my plans while I'm working. Cairns inspire me as they date back to ancient times. They've been used in many ways but in North America they're primarily used to help guide hikers through trails. I create them as a reminder for us all to follow our own path in life and to stay balanced and work together. In my pieces I am creating multiple paintings that must cohesively work with one another as a single unit. Each rock is its own individual but balances with the others to create beautiful unity. Sometimes the simplicity of one stone compliments the complexity of another. In turn I find this very representative of mankind. All beautiful, unique and created individually but must work together. When I create I get lost in intuitive expression. It's less about technique and more about experimentation and what feels right. Sometimes I feel absent from the moment yet submerged in the painting all at once.
