My art is all about transition. Life has changed in so many ways these past years, my work is evolving with me. Making connections is what drives me. The medium I choose to illustrate ideas changes based on how/what I want to communicate. The excitement of working in different media enhances the process.

Steel, for me, is a language. A song. A breath. We’ve been together for almost 30 years, we know each other well. My pleasure is taking a very man-made substance and creating organic, sometimes otherworldly, objects that encourage people to see differently. (Besides creating furniture & custom interior pieces)

Gesture painting is a favored activity for being loose and flowing. It allows me to see the natural patterns and rhythms of my body in action. I love the resulting texture as the layers build — run your fingers lightly over them and see!

My painted figure work strives to illustrate a state of being. The silver lines represent the energy that flows through and connects us all. Notice the embedded figures — our ancestors are always with us.

As an artist who works primarily in three dimensions, I am always looking for ways to make art more tangible — yes, please touch!

I am open to commissions, collaboration and connecting! Reach out!
