biography

I am a self-taught artist who works mainly with acrylic mixed media. Using a technique that layers modeling paste, I create 3D effects in my work. I also create collage/assemblage pieces.

My themes include the examination and exploration of self which leads me to ask questions like who am I, what is my place in the world, what is my best self and how do I get to that best self that I see in my mind’s eye. As humans, we are always evolving and striving to get to a better place. And that better place usually comes with some amount of self reflection and examination.

Creator's Perspective

I am inspired to provide an impact with my art not just to physical spaces but to mental and emotional ones.

It is my belief that art can change a space dramatically and in so doing, change the mood of the persons who use the space. Art can also change the way the world is viewed and an individual’s impression of himself/herself. On all counts, my intention is to help bring about these changes.

We are layered, multi-dimensional people who can be several things at once or we can be one thing today and something completely different tomorrow. The one thing that leads us to any place is our thoughts. Because it is what we think that guides our actions and creates the path to our best selves.
