Artist Statement

Art is my pulse. It informs everything I am, do, say, and see. It can be witnessed in my artwork, my humor, my appearance, and my home. Art comes in many forms, reminding me of energy and atomic structure, everywhere, eternal. The search for the divine in the humanness in it all drives and inspires me.

When I look either inside me or around me, for an idea or image to expose on film, paint, or make from clay, I notice the graphic element first, which satisfies my need for order and godliness. Then I wait for the gesture or indication that makes the image or object unique and personal. I enjoy finding irony, humor, raw emotion, and tenderness in the human experience. It is most exciting when the process is spontaneous: The Universe (aka the whole wide world) expressing through me.
