Cross My Heart is an exploration and appreciation of the emotions that live in our bodies. These artworks were largely influenced by the physical qualities of florals, as well as muscle and human form, in a way that juxtaposes the fleeting beauty of florals with the living memories of relationship highs and lows.

Specifically, the collection combines the ethereal aspects of nature and corporal aspects of life in order to be present with memories and feelings living in the body.  As I explore the past few years with my wife and young daughters I find my responses and emotions to be visceral, vibrant, and multi-faceted. 

Moments of shadow and light are captured together in each work. A reminder that to appreciate the light, you have to experience the dark.
