ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is inspired by bold architecture, textured walls, utilitarian objects and beauty. The thrill of finding new meaning for an object makes my work spontaneous and includes varied themes which are reflective of my personal, commercial and graphic art experiences. Travel and my love of the process have a great deal of influence on my work as well.
