“Meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who coined the term the 'butterfly effect' stated, 'Small shifts in your thinking, and small changes in your energy, can lead to massive alterations of your end result." In these paintings, I strive to immerse the viewer in these spaces and in so doing, create the ‘small shifts’ in understanding and thinking about our place in an increasingly smaller, interconnected global society.”
