The concerns that engage my work emerge from a curiosity about the interconnectedness of all life, as well as the exploration of an inner, non-verbal language.  For the most part, I work abstractly, drawing upon a vocabulary of shapes and forms, color and line.  I often begin by developing a concept, but then step aside, allowing the work to discover its own unique voice.

Abstract visual language, informed by both organic and synthetic shapes, encourages spontaneity, playfulness and curiosity.  My drawings, collage, sculpture and installations are a discussion of this inner world.  They grow and evolve on their own until they feel complete.

I like to use bright colors and biomorphic shapes, making forms that seem to move, fly, bump into one another.  I do this by fitting things together, layering and grouping unrelated objects, often using recycled materials and everyday objects. It’s the “livingness” of these artifacts that I respond to – their history as well as their texture and color.  I like to entertain, by calling attention to the world around us, the interconnectedness of all living things, perhaps the hidden poetry in the ordinary.
