ABOUT

Fabricating jewelry became my first passion as an artist. Adorning others with beautiful pieces brought me great joy.

I spent my working career as a designer and creator of hand-carved waxes that were used to produce one-of-a-kind pieces, utilizing the ancient art of lost wax casting.

​

Always wanting to do art on a larger scale, I moved toward the canvas and discovered a profound love for creating work using a multitude of mediums and found objects.

 

My approach to mixed media involves constant exploration and experimentation with different techniques, textures and materials. Using a putty knife and brush, I move the paint until I reach a desired intuitive result.

​

My pieces are often characterized by a sense of texture and depth with layers of materials and elements that invite the viewer to engage with the work on multiple levels. I enjoy presenting a sense of visual complexity and depth that reflects the complexity of our world.

​

I am constantly exploring the possibilities of combining different materials and techniques to create work that is both expressive and evocative with an eye toward the mysterious. My creative process is driven by a fascination with the inherent beauty and history of discarded materials.

​

My work explores the relationships between objects, their past lives, and the stories they hold. Everything is precious, therefore I save it for a future project. My work is driven by a deep fascination with the interplay between light and dark and the infinite nuances of color and texture that can be found within that dynamic.

 

My hope is that my work inspires people to look at the world around them in a new way and to appreciate the beauty and stories that can be found in even the most unexpected places, and even that which was previously discarded.
