Artist Statement

Art, for me, is the act of expressing ideas regardless of the medium and sharing them with others.I see things and am compelled to create with them. I also love to encourage viewers to interact with my art and put their imprint on the work. Creating 3D sculptural forms and textile "paintings" using new and found materials is a passion.

Too often we become spectators of life instead of creating life.
