The art I create is part of my everyday life.  I collect findings both tangible and visual, constantly observing and quietly noting them, then taking them home and birthing a new creation.  By assembling the unexpected and complementing it with comfort, I build a balanced piece of chaos to share my adventures.
 
My work has a nurturing intent even when the feel is heavy and bold.  Stemming from my faux painting background, I enjoy collating two-and three-dimensional findings to create texture and movement, as well as layering vibrant acrylic and thick oil paint. This makes my work expressive with childhood sagas, and hidden messages of supposed life morals peeking through, telling a story within the abstract composition.
