Artist Statement:
My work explores the
purpose of the story as found
in religion, myth and fairy

these stories have, how they
affect our culture and the

metaphor that identifies this
condition.
My ideas dictate the
direction of my process and
the media that is incorporated
in a work. Throughout my work,

classify and the language of
hierarchy. This structural
order of categorizing becomes
a catalyst in seducing us.
Every being and every thing
whether it appears in a story
or reality maintains a status
level, some deemed of more
value or importance than
others. The power these
subjects reveal is seductive
to all participants involved
in the language game. I am
intrigued by the allusiveness

constant veiling and unveiling
between subject and the power
of seduction.
