Artist Statement

I am intrigued by all kinds of materials and love to imagine how to combine and integrate them in unexpected new ways. I hate to throw out or waste anything! My materials are often ones that would be discarded by most people – old paintings, palettes, leaves, roofing and artistic mistakes/mishaps. A walk down the aisles of Home Depot can be as inspirational as watching a sunset. I strive to create artwork that is unique, provocative and an engaging visual experience.
