Artist Statement
My work speaks through elements of the natural and manmade world. Whether in two or three dimensions, the work contains references to internal and external, psychological and sociological experience. Using a variety of materials such as metals, wood, stone, found objects, paper, ink, watercolor, charcoal and graphite, these pieces range in size from intimate to large site-specific installations.
