Artist Statement

         Ever since I could breathe, I’ve been an artist.  The first thing I did after learning to walk was to draw.  The first thing I ate on my own was an orange crayon.

    Art is in my blood.    


    I create sculptural installations that deal with the ideas of holding on, letting go, and multiplicity.  Through the use of tactile, found materials, and an affinity for the hand-made, I continue to produce a body of work maintains my personal aesthetic.  

     
    Through my art making, I feel called upon to be a light in the darkness, and I have an innate desire to bring buoyancy and whimsy into the world.  Art is power.  With it, we can heal, we can grow, we can pray, or continue to hurt: the decision is ours.
