About

My pieces reflect who I am - a lover of color, a collector of discarded objects. I see how ordinary objects can come together to form a whole. My process includes sanding, cutting, painting, and rearranging items to construct something new. I draw inspiration from Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Louise Nevelson.

I come from a family of visual artists. My grandfather and father were professional artists, and five of my siblings paint and sculpt. My father’s Abstract Expressionist paintings greatly influenced my work, as did living in Mexico for a decade. In Mexico I was exposed to artists and craftsmen who used vivid colors and made pieces out of whatever was available to them.
