Artist Statement

My current body of work is based on anthropomorphic forms which combine organic elements in ways that evoke images of un-discovered creatures and places. I encourage the viewer to explore and interpret shapes which are influenced by a study of medieval and baroque art history, modern science fiction and fantasy art, and jewelry and metal work designs.

I am interested in combining traditional craft techniques such as blacksmithing, wood turning, and metal casting, with modern techniques such as welding and found object art to create contemporary mixed media forms. I am also interested in the ways that traditional "crafts" can be re-invented to fit into contemporary art.
