I have been creating all my life, drawing inspiration from nature, primitive cultures, and the world around me.

The pieces evolve and grow through an unconscious process. I am often excited by accidents and respond to them as if the piece, itself, were directing me. The piece becomes an adventure a journey to the source of it all.

I work slowly, playing with paint, fabric, touching, listening as the piece speaks to me. I am guided by my intuitive reactions. The work reflects the channeling of my intuitions, allowing creativity to act as a type of purification process.
