Artist Statement

I am a collector and the natural world has long been my source of inspiration.  Charmed by bursts of colorful blooms, I am equally in awe of the dried stock. The subtlety of a neutral palette runs throughout my art. 

My work is intentionally mysterious and ambiguous.  I am inviting the viewer to linger, to look more closely. Developing original techniques I use a combination of materials, beckoning exploration. 

The process is intuitive and the results are unexpected and welcome. One move leads to another. Only after, do I find the words to name and describe the work.
