Artist Statement

​

Inspired by the English Pre-Raphaelite painters and the writers of late Victorian Kentucky—poets Madison J. Cawein and Robert Burns Wilson as well as the 19th Century “writers of the fantastic” such as Wilkie Collins, J. Sheridan LeFanu and Edgar Allen Poe— My work explores  the eternal human quest for love and acknowledges the haunting melancholy of loss and longing in a setting of Gothic romance.
