Artist Statement
“For many years, even before recycling became prevalent, I scoured fields, salvage yards, my neighborhood...any place that might be a source of non-traditional materials for my art. I think combining acrylic paint with metal, fabric, paper, glass— or whatever sparks my imagination, adds extra interest and dimension to my work.
I love found objects, and use them to create both two and three dimensional forms.
I like texture, brilliant color, bold brushstrokes and the challenge of combining unorthodox elements into a cohesive composition.
This process of transforming my artistic materials has led to a deeper interest in other areas of transformation as applied to emotion, spirituality and life. Working in an abstract style symbolizes these transitional journeys and is intended to complete an inner connection with the viewer in that private space that assumes priority over words"
