I long to put the pieces back together. To ‘re-member.’ Perhaps every work of art is a piece of just that — a coming home to myself. A window into what I see, the questions I ask, the wrestling with this right-now life. At times, these pieces bear agony, other times they bear delight, or something in-between.

My work takes place in the present, to capture what is happening in me or around me. Emotion, music, delight - I start with an initial idea and let it take shape before my eyes. My process is a dance between the medium and myself, a push and pull, a tug and release, discovering together where to go. I often take three roles in my process: admirer, extractor, and arranger. First, I admire an initial moment of the medium, of creating. I play and delight. Next, I extract what I have created from its first context and displace it. Lastly, I arrange the disparate pieces into new whole. At the heart of my process is transformation. I often don’t know where the piece is going, the process superseding the end result. Here is where I find joy.

I invite you as the viewer into wonder, curiosity, to come and see for yourself.
