Artist Statement:
Utah Lake was the birthplace of my artistic journey. A journey which has fed and sustained me through a host of challenges. Exploring its corners at all hours of the day and night and in all seasons has given me an unshakable conviction of the unique gift we have of its extraordinary and underappreciated beauty. 
In the face of persistent misinformation about the lake and its health, in the face of threats by developers and their allies, I see my work as activism, a call to appreciate, preserve, protect, and reconnect with the Lake.
