Artist Statement
A whimsical
attitude
characterizes my
artwork. Stylized
imagery, often
inspired by African,
Aztec and Egyptian
as well as
contemporary pop
cultures is the
starting point. To
this added a liberal
use of vibrant
color, interesting
shape as well as
delightful pattern.
Unique use of form
and juxtaposition of
textures reflects
the sophistication
that is achieved
through attention to
detail and
deliberate use of
materials.
Combinations of
soft, ethereal
feathers compliment
the hard, slick
ceramic glaze.
Gemstones beads and
found objects add
yet another layer of
visual content.
Hopefully my artwork
makes you smile.
