I am interested in exploring my (personal) habits and tendencies and our (collective) patterns.  I enjoy gathering, examining and organizing data in an effort to reveal deeper truths.  Creating talismans and images with my hands is an essential component around processing all this information- using art to translate and map the stories that emerge.

Experimentation across diverse mediums including fiber, artists’ books, installation and painting is used to support the underlying concepts that drive my work.

I’m excited to discover, and ask, the elegant questions in life and then express those answers in beautiful ways.
