Some of my pieces start with an idea...
most just evolve

I work in both 2-D and 3-D. I am inclined to work in one style for a period of time and then switch to another. I make mixed media paintings, assemblages with ordinary objects, small works on paper using repetitive text and quirky character illustrations. Most of the work is fueled by curiosity and purpose. Creating for me is about surrendering to the process; I like to investigate the tension between working and reworking materials. I think my work often suggests an element of contrasting appearances. Some of my pieces start with an idea but most just evolve, allowing my instinct to take it one way or another.

A common element in my work is based not around a particular aesthetic, but rather represents an obsession with the process and a desire to test my limits. Art is a vehicle that allows me to communicate and to learn more about myself.
