“My work is a place of hope and growth.  It is in a sense a manifestation of negotiating this thing called ‘life.’  I do that by creating assembled characters and artwork that are made up of the everyday stuff of our world.  I find it a joy transforming a set of object with a history into an allegorical character or curious shadow box, as those objects and all that they carry when put together, create a whole new story.  The characters in my work face fears, spell out hope and dive into sorrow and joy, proclaiming the perils and goodness of simply being human.”
