statement

I move between making Sculpture, Paintings, Drawings and Mixed Media Works fluidly during the year choosing the dimension (2D or 3D) of the work because of the images I want to realize or a desire to work with certain materials or methods.  

My Sculptures continue to be embedded with themes of fragility, loss, holding and transience, using common materials such as paper, wire, tissue, thread, cotton, wax, and plaster. These works often have quiet longing and sadness and speak about the body, its gesture, and its subtle narrative.

Paintings and Drawings are about my time spent in the natural world.  Whether it’s in the Venezuelan rainforest, where I’ve been spending several weeks every year for 20 years, or the expansive pastures and woods of Vermont, and the Atlantic seacoast, I use a combination of materials to express the movement, the exhilaration I feel when I’m in sun, wind, water, and weather, and participating in Nature’s rich, teeming life.
