Artist Statement

Creating something unique compels and challenges me as nothing else can. Throughout my life this has taken me from drawing, painting, and sculpting, to most recently my work with textile hardeners. The time spent with my work adds balance and harmony to my life while at the same time allowing my imagination to run unfettered.

I try to convey a sense of emotion with all my work. Working with textiles allows me to do this through form, color, and texture as well as movement. The work is not complete until i see that moment or feel the emotion I'm looking for.

My current works are based on a series titled Quiet Minds. These works explore the feelings or states of melancholy, relaxation, contemplation, and introspection. The figures range from ones of profound sadness to extreme joy.
