Artist Statement
My effort in the studio is to create objects that have never been before, to underscore the notion that anything is possible and human agency is powerful.
I am searching. Searching and yearning for truth and beauty. The poet in me looks for beauty, the skeptic looks for truth. I want my art to reflect the whole of me. My curiosity drives me to create work in a call and response improvisational manner as I explore the nature of my materials.
I begin working, and the conscious mind quiets as the body takes over. Decision by decision, time becomes irrelevant. I interact with my chosen medium with acquired skill as form appears and meaning is revealed. It is a thrill to realize visual compositions where disparate elements of line, shape, and color, come together as if adhering to some mystical underlying rubric.
