About Me

“I am fascinated by the way wood changes from new to distressed, and how steel and metal change color over time. I am attracted to the beauty of ordinary objects that have been thrown away. I am intrigued by the process of things rusting over time. I take pleasure in giving materials that have survived, against all odds, the respect and presentation they deserve. I use these materials in my artwork to symbolize the transitions in one’s own life and the difficulties we encounter with change. Ordinary objects that I find may have been discarded yet they have also survived in diverse and often harsh environments. They tell a story.”

As an artist, I am a storyteller, using materiality and process as my mediums of expression. My works stand as provocative statements on the fluidity of transition and the inevitability of change.

My Process

My artistic process is a harmonious dance between technique and material, where mastery and innovation converge. The resulting pieces blend the subversive with a reverence for traditional values. Through this marriage of contrasts, I strive to conjure a sense of elegance and assurance as my works undergo transformative journeys of their own.

Within the intricate composition of my creations, the mundane finds transcendence. The old, distressed, and rusted metamorphose into symbolic artifacts, resonating with deeper meaning. Each piece I create holds a story — a narrative that speaks of resilience, change, and the intricate threads that bind the past and the present.

My Journey

It’s all about of transformation, where the ordinary finds its way into the realm of the extraordinary. As an American multidisciplinary artist, I delve into the worlds of assemblage, mixed media, encaustic, painting, works on paper, and sculpture. My work serves as a testament to the beauty and meaning that can be unearthed from the discarded, the forgotten, and the weathered.
