ARTIST STATEMENT

Formerly a painter, in love with texture, I began adding objects to my canvases to
build depth and interest, so it was a natural transition for me to move into multi-
media art with a strong emphasis on mosaic, opening up to a wide variety of
materials that build complexity.
I like working in a semi-abstract manner, giving myself and the viewer the familiar
and unfamiliar to contemplate.
Working in multi media allows me to explore many materials such as glass,
metal, wood, smalti, ceramics and found objects which trigger my creative
process, and at the same time recycling the world around me into something
new.
