Artist Statement
I have been trained in drawing, design, painting, sculpture, poetry, bookmaking, and literature. My work tends to cross traditional artistic boundaries, and often includes mixed media collage. I have also worked with photography, video, installations, and performances. I am inspired by experimentation, and like to see where my materials will lead me. Artistic exploration has been a way for me to try to understand the world and our place in it.
