Artist Statement

I am an artist because I have always been driven to work with my hands - driven to create objects of art, utility, culinary delight or botanical beauty. I am happiest when I am creating and embellishing life.

My artwork is an exploration of themes in history, symbolism, music, dance, spirituality, feminism and self. Each piece becomes a fusion of what I feel, think, read and experience transformed into the tangible.
