Artist's Statement

I am a collector of objects and have acquired quite a few over the years. These objects include vintage wooden toys, puzzles, wood cutouts and matchbox labels. I look to these simple objects to revitalize my own art making. Their intimate scale, nostalgic color scheme and the playful systems of construction all informs my work.

At my Somerville studio, I am currently in the practice of assembling painted wooden forms and exploring unique approaches to woodblock printing. I tend to work in series, creating many permutations of one image or form to be considered as a collection.
