Although distracted for a couple of decades with a business career, raising a daughter, walking a dog, and writing, I've always loved the process and results of creating things. The collages come from earlier on in my artistic "career" when I lived in Washington DC and spent many Saturday afternoons at the Matisse Wing of the National Gallery. Influenced by artists who were favorites of mine at the time, they also encompass a world of physical and biological organisms in their anthropomorphic references. Many of the collages were sold at the time, and so funded my further education.
My artwork has been percolating and evolving over the past four years, as I've returned with new passion, and I'm particularly excited by my most recent art--The Braille Project, the triptych of The Gates as well as Negative Brain, and Ritualistically. I am working on another multimedia piece now which will require a large gallery space, that promises to be provocative and extravagant. I am exploring form versus function, using “found” objects in photography, sculpture and painting as the language. By taking these objects out of context they become artistic expressions in their own right, with textures, colors, rhythms and personalities all their own.
