"A passion for exploring the possibilities of form and shape is the motivation driving the creation of my pieces. Working with different and challenging materials teaches me to bend to the inherent attributes as well as the limitations of my chosen medium leading me on a journey that never ceases to amaze and captivate me. Currently working in Mixed Media, abstract, I enjoy the immediacy of the medium. I love working in collage, acrylic paints, canvas and found materials. It’s always an adventure!!
"For the past several years I have been transitioning from 3D to 2D Mixed Media. I enjoy the immediacy of the working in 2D, compared to sculpture which requires extensive planning. I find working in collage with paints, canvas and found materials to be quite liberating. My fascination with architecture is evident in my current work. My 3D experience is helpful in creating work as I see the content of my mixed media pieces as form and shape. I was born in Brooklyn, NY and credit some of my images to that urban environment."
