Bio

I am an assemblage and mixed media artist whose work centers the remnants, cast-offs, scraps, leftovers or left-behinds. I feel that these little nouns which have already lived a story before arriving in my studio embody memory–not of the highlights we’ve experienced, but the mundane and ordinary moments our life is made-up of. My work seeks to reveal the poignancy of those moments in which the glory and the ugly are suspended together in freeze-frame. The texture, odd juxtapositions, layering and mysterious objects in my pieces speak to the sentient quality of both living in the present and remembering our lives as they were. Wholeness and balance in these pieces are achieved through a rigorous intuitive gathering, visioning and stitching together of disparate elements–a process this artist knows well as I skirt middle age and considers all that was, and is, and is to come.
