Artist Statement

I create 2D and 3D mixed media works that highlight everyday, ordinary life, exploring subjects by manipulating scale and spatial relationships. Much of my current body of work is focused on examining ideas associated with themes of relational proximity, inclusion, and exclusion.  Some of my work proceeds from an exploration of materials, with ideas and themes developing as I create layer upon layer. Other pieces are based on an idea or moment I am trying to capture visually, with the materials following the idea.
