Artist Statement
Fragments of memories, or words that resonate and stay within my mind converge with observations of the physical world during the course of my creative process.
My work is intimate in both scale and intention. The synthesis of organic forms with the influence of architectural elements create structures that are feminine, yet visually strong. Interior spaces and being drawn visually and conceptually into the heart of a form is intriguing to me. I intend to subtly suggest images that might evoke a feeling of discovery, memory, or contemplation in the observer.
