In taking in my environment
and mixing in the visual feasts
that surround me as well as the
feelings they inspire, I can’t help
incorporating them into my work.
While inspiration puts me in
creative motion, innovation
wraps itself into my work.

The two together help me explore
my questioning of “how could
I...?” as my work develops.

Given these influences, I am
rather predisposed to the development
of certain themes and
form: the ethereal & the shadow,
circles & folds- leading to a subtle
exploration of duality.
The literal circular forms in my Oh
series are echoed in my Floral
Form series, as each floral form
creates a circular pattern of its
own. In my Color series, there
is a subtle round, connecting
shape developed deep within the
layers of paint that can be seen
within the color field. The sensibilities
of a circle appeal to meno
beginning, no end- just finding
oneself at a certain “point” of the
arc. And in that way, I explore
overlapping, large & small,
pushed-in sides...small dots or
a singular monolith. The circular
form often converges with folds
in my sculpted work.
