Artist Statement
“My artwork explores the overlaps and collisions of wildlife and humanity. The animals and events in my paintings regularly serve as metaphors for human issues because I find the symbolic potency of animal imagery fascinating and funny. In heraldry and storytelling, other creatures often indicate human traits or behaviors more explicitly than actual humans. I use the semiotics of wildlife as a familiar and accessible entry point to my artwork’s meaning, but these traditional interpretations also function as playful foils since my art is centered on new discoveries about the natural world and modern human concerns. My work is visually striking, vivid, and layered which echoes the qualities that interest me the most as I gather inspirations from new research and journalism on zoology, history, theology, and behavioral and social sciences. I work in oil paint, watercolor, gouache, graphite, and digital painting. Through the careful orchestration of dramatic and fanciful compositions, the compilation of visual and conceptual clues leads viewers on a journey of discovery that highlights the interlocking components of humans’ and animals’ complex coexistence.” - Francine Fox.
