Title of Piece: “False Falls”

Medium: Acrylic paint, chicken wire, drop cloths, paper

Dimensions: 120" x 96" x 96"

Artist Statement: This piece is the second piece in a series of works following the same idea. What would a world look like if all nature as we know it has disappeared, and we are left to come up with, and create, the imagery through stories that we have heard, and not seen through our own eyes.

Bio: My family moved from Pennsylvania to Washington when I was eight. I was in awe of the new nature that surrounded me. My love of this nature inspires most of my work in some way. In the future, I want to make art that inspires children to appreciate nature and art the way I do. I would love to teach classes, make interactive pieces, and cater what I make to be both educational and fun for kids. I think this is a very important step to preserving the natural world that I, and many others, love so much.
