Background:
I have always been immersed in art; my grandfather was a painter by profession and I liked to draw as a child. However I did not enjoy art classes and abandoned a college art major after eighteen months. Making "art" was an occasional hobby until I moved to Port Townsend in 1998, when making art became part of my daily life.
Statement:
I work with a variety of media, and have a great interest in sculpture. I often use assembly in my process. I enjoy the layering and combining that is intrinsic to print making, and I appreciate and use the element of surprise in my work. My focus is on the end result rather than the technique.
I make art to please myself, but my best work is also a form of communication. I hope to capture your attention and to take you to somewhere else for a moment. I want to share the sense of wonder and mystery I feel when I create.
