Me, me, me.It's all about me.

About Me

When I was three and crayons were my preferred medium, I drew life-size playmates on my bedroom walls. In the decades that followed, I discovered paint, clay, glass, fabric, metal, gemstones, and my computer's word processing  program .I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature which prepared me for not much of anything and, paradoxically, almost everything.  I question many things but there is one thing I never doubt. ​​I am an artist.

About My Art

 I'm drawn to dualities:  dark/ light, smooth/rough,  transparent/opaque, yet I'm also compelled by the in-between spaces, where paint on canvas  suggests  depth,  a lump of clay  resembles form,  rigid metal softens,  or a jumble  of words suggests  story. For me, art is about the journey rather  than the destination.It's the Process of Becoming where true alchemy exists.
