Artist Statement

The notion behind the name Fifth Season Studio comes from my love and admiration of nature. We live by four inspiring, complicated and vital seasons in our temporal world. As humans, I feel that we spend an emotional season —a fifth season— honoring, digesting and fathoming that which the world unfolds for us each year. Our fifth season is an effort at touching something intangible— an echo of what constantly surrounds us. I like to think of my artwork is part of that echo. Aesthetics and textures through multi-media applications that respect, pay homage and connect to nature while exploring the marriage between natural materials and man-made tools.
