Artist Statement
Zoomorphic, organic and plant-like shapes are most prevalent in my subject matter. I am always experimenting with new materials and found objects. I am always searching for ways to interpret my ideas into a new medium. I can teach and offer art in the following mediums: painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, assemblage, metalsmithing, fine art jewelry and fiber arts.
