ARTIST STATEMENT
I’m a neurodiverse quantum storyteller who blends art, science, and business to challenge traditional perceptions of artists' roles in society. Drawing deeply from my Appalachian heritage and diverse professional experiences, my work investigates the intersections of neuroscience, consciousness, wonder, and purpose—questioning societal norms shaped by economic production and consumption. My artistic practice transcends physical mediums, using ideas, language, and systems as materials to explore possibilities for organizational and societal transformation.
My work, influenced by ancient cave art, the imagery of the James Webb Space Telescope, the poetry of Patti Smith and John O’Donohue, and conceptual artists like Dolly Parton, Cher, Joseph Beuys, and Pedro Reyes, synthesizes folk traditions with fine art, brain science with myth, and spirituality with tangible realities. It fosters unexpected collaborations between visible and invisible forces—human and technological—to renew and reimagine the future of creative work at the heart of the American Dream.
