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

About Me

One of my first memories was  drawing a life-size playmate on my closet wall. Then, crayons were my media of choice. Now,  I express myself with paints, clay, glass, fabric, metals, 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, at the same time, almost everything. Although I question many things, there is one thing I never doubt. I am an artist.

About My Art

 Through my art, I seek dualities: of dark and light, smooth and rough,  transparent and opaque––but even more intriguing to me are the spaces in between, where paint on a  two dimensional canvas begins to suggest depth, where clay moves toward taking shape, where metal bends fluidly, where words develop into thoughts.  Each media holds a different set of dualities, a unique set of challenges.  It is that moment, the Process of Becoming, that moves me to create.
