Artist Statement
Through my use of pens, pencils, oils, and found objects my audience has an opportunity to discover their personal truths, uncover limiting beliefs, recover their sense of belonging and share in the human experience. For example, one multi-medium piece uses mirrors to provide the viewer an immersive experience by enabling them to see themselves in my work.
My art is both realistic and impressionistic. Color is used in some pieces to create whimsy and evoke joy. Black and white drawings of everyday vintage pieces may create nostalgic feelings, a longing for simpler days or memories of a loved one.
