Basic Information

• About me

  My work explores the media that I use. Whether it’s drawing, printmaking, iron casting, bronze casting, carving in wood, or working with plaster, welding steel, or sewing; I try to use my materials to express their own nature and the ideas of the society in which I live and work. Irony and sharp social comment are often present in my work and I strive to communicate with a wide audience using humor as well as seriousness. Recent trips abroad to Europe, China, and Southeast Asia have given me a new perspective on the social context in which to frame my art. I am interested in the differences and interaction between cultures as well as in artistic media.
