Artist Statement

I create through varied materials and processes while exploring diverse subjects from the overwhelming world around me. Intrigued by gestural, non-linguistic communication in all species, I utilize animal surrogates in an effort to understand the human condition. Often therapeutic, the studio becomes an escape where I can orchestrate the sensitivity that I wish to surround me.
