"My work attempts to create environments that I want to find in myself: they represent internal worlds that I am attempting to externalize and share. I strive to pare down and balance, with a sense of lyrical rhythm and asymmetry. "

Focusing on the idea of life’s impermanence, collage is the perfect way to experiment and move through a variety of ideas and media.  I am drawn to intersections: ideas that might seem to be at opposite ends of a continuum, like the organic and the geometric. My starting points vary: they can come from something I’ve drawn or painted, something glimpsed or from my experience of hearing a poem or piece of music. As a graduate student, I studied with John Cage; his early influence, to this day, inspires my studio practice of intention and chance.
