Artist Statement
I find my inspiration in nature and life around me. My art is my heart and soul. I seem to enter into phases and interests sampling techniques and mediums like some would try new foods. As a lifelong learner I enjoy the challenge of new mediums, looking at each as a different opportunity.

Much of my inspiration comes from the earth, what I sense and see around me. I will never limit my possibilities. My current passion has been the extremely earthy medium of clay, building both functional and sculptural pieces. Often using textures directly taken from plants to embellish the surface, I create for the home and garden.

My love of the arts makes me look at the world in a different light. Everything has multiple purposes and things that may seem useless to some may have great potential in the hands of another. I will always move forward, keep my eyes and ears open to the world around me and be prepared for all the surprises life will send my way.

It is what it is therefore I am what I am.
