As an assemblage artist, I use items that are already out in the world and assemble them in ways to create new meaning, curiousity or absurdity. I source my materials from flea markets, antique malls, junkyards, dollar stores, craft stores, hardware stores....a perfect example of how creativity supports the economy.

The goal of my work is always to hit the sweet spot. The sweet spot is the place where divergent elements - each in their beautiful individual completeness - come together and create an equally beautiful new dynamic wholeness. It is where the parts and the sum of the parts are in exquisite right relation to one another. This is achieved through a process of adding and subtracting, looking and honing, heeding divine intuition and trusting surprises.
