I am a self-taught artist with a history in ceramics, metal sculpture and engineering. Clay blessed me with a love and appreciation of texture. Working with metal introduced me to patinas and rust. Engineering taught me problem solving and process and the value of testing and failure.
My current journey into mixed media is driven by a desire to create art with many layers, where the sum of the parts has a story and sparks conversations. My unconventional techniques and use of acrylic paints, copper, rust, metal patinas and texturing materials creates distinctive and thought-provoking pieces.
Art is an extraordinary multiverse. Each work is an invitation for viewers to explore, to use their own curiosity and discover something unique. And if we’re lucky, we can share those visions and make a connection.
