Artist Statement

There’s a call and response between the world and the artist. It’s like being asked to dance—and agreeing joyfully.

Conceptually, my response to this call is often a short-hand note. Light is a powerful attractor to me, but so is darkness. Contrast stimulates me.

Thematically, I am object oriented. I am strongly drawn to human-made things. I’m interested in how these objects appear juxtaposed with nature. I love pattern making, and pattern breaking. Themes are light and dark, size—big versus small, and spatial relationships—near and far.

Emotionally, I’m always pondering—my underlying emotional tone is joy. And wonder.
