Artist Statement:
My work is all about the
materials, combining diverse
materials in a way that
stimulates a thought or
emotion. From my very first
experiments with mosaic in the
landscape, I recognized the
power which is inherent in
those materials. I became a
facilitator, as the materials
did their magic.

In my first two-dimensional
pieces, I sought to make the
materials do things they
wouldn't do naturally. I
would combine ceramic ware,
and hand cut it in erratic
shapes and re-combined with a
static background of another
"hard" material, such as glass
tiles. I wanted the ceramic
pieces to become fluid. In
one of those first pieces,
"Ever So", the china appears
to drape itself over and under
the glass.

As I worked my way through the
technical learning curve, I
found myself drawn further to
textural materials and the
effects which result from
combinations of diverse
materials. Today, my studio
is visual chaos to an
observer, but it is a womb for
me. While I work, I am
surrounded by shelves of
kitsch, ceramics and glass, a
wall of rocks, stone &
crystals... it's a carnival of
visual stimuli which is my
inspiration.
