"Creativity is the power to reject the past, to change the status quo, and to seek new potential."
-Ai Weiwei
I enjoy working with simple materials and found objects. I look for beauty in nature and reflect that back in my art. I like the idea that by incorporating a rotting tree in my work I have managed to delay, even if only temporarily, it's return to the earth. Working with wood, stone and clay connects me to the artistic expression of people since the beginning of time. It's a very profound feeling. Art that speaks to social responsibility and challenges conventions is also important to me. I am inspired by the work of Yoko Ono and Ai Weiwei, among others. I have visited galleries and museums around the world and continue to be inspired by all the art I see and the beauty in the world around me. I hope to continue to channel my creativity and to create and inspire for as long as I am able.
