Image Statement: My art has been informed by the Pandemic and a diagnosis of cancer. Raging Tempest, var.2 was created in reaction to the diagnosis. I took photographs of the Pacific ocean and transformed the scene to reveal a primal force that was ablaze within me. Although the storm appears dangerous and perhaps insurmountable, these moments will gradually subside over time. ‘The world is a great ocean, upon which we encounter more tempestuous storms than calms’. Edgar Allen Poe
