Artist's Statement

I view myself as a visual problem solver. I have created public art, environmental design, community art and curating exhibitions, and I have been known to work in clay, wood, metal, and other materials to create sculpture and other items. I believe that art & design should serve a purpose in our society and community, whether to educate, inspire or to just make someone smile. This inspires me to broaden my artistic and technical skills! Most recently, I am learning how to turn wood objects and have returned to 2D works in pastel and paint. But who knows where my interests will lead me!
