ARTIST STATEMENT

My finished work is the effect of exploring various creative processes to reach a final arrangement.  I rely on our desires for beauty and intrigue, which allows me to delve into the relationship of the real and the abstract, re-enforcing a conversation between color and texture.  My relationship with my children has been influential to my love for playful and active involvement in creation.  My art has taken on an unrefined quality, stressing the connection between final image and the physical act of formation.
