As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore the intricate systems that connect humanity and the natural world, seeking to understand nature’s order and our place within it. My work produces abstract interpretations that embrace the interconnectedness and delicate balance between wildlife movement and human influence. 

Through Dottie, viewers will explore the intersection of the familiar and the fantastical. She transcends her pastoral origins, becoming a work of art that challenges perceptions and evokes joy. The bold colors and playful patterns transform her into a beacon of creativity, encouraging a dialogue between nature and imagination. By reimagining the cow—a symbol of agriculture and sustenance—as a work of contemporary art, I aim to blur the lines between tradition and modernity, reality and fantasy.
