Artist Statement

I’m drawn to storytelling, to symbol and metaphor where layered meaning lies. Through personally constructed archetypes I explore what it is to be human in these complex times. 

My process is slow. Concepts and imagery are an accumulation of linked impulses, responses, discoveries, and research - a stream of consciousness where the fragments shuffle and brush up against each other. They become the gestalt that I work to unravel. I’m in no hurry. I know that soon I will be telling myself another story about the inner and outer world, steadfastly building my own folklore.
