While each of my works inevitably contains a sense of the personal, I believe that it is also important that they contain a social consciousness. I create images that provoke action, thought, commonality – often transcending the decorative, entertaining or “easy”. Many of my images have demanding, disturbing or unsettling content – giving a voice to anger, hurt, and fear. I believe that while focusing on life’s harsh realities, my work can be a force for unity, humanity and support in difficult times.
