Daily, ideas concerning the management of our earth’s resources and how human beings are affected by it are my thoughts. I create works that present the beauty and interesting stories about our planet incorporating repurposed materials. Inspiration arises from endless colors, patterns, found objects, and the very air we breathe. I strive to create pieces that evoke small narratives and open viewers’ eyes to the fascinating mixture of all life that share our world. The world is my toolbox and all mediums are my palette. At age 9, fabric sparked my creative process and the joy of textile has stayed with me since. Glass pops up now and then in my work and I love it because it comes from our beloved earth and is transformed through the process of fire. Found objects always inspire stories in my head and through object making I can express that tale. My story objects are taken on field trips in search of venues to complete the details and finally photographed to provide the visual. The object may be installed for only a few minutes, but the story remains. I wish my art to enhance communication between us all. Lets talk to each other about the life and beauty around us. If we are conscious of how all life is important, we will be stewards to our green and blue earth, to creatures great and small, and be caregivers of each othe |
