Artist Statement

Inspired by found objects, ornamentation, and nature, my work examines notions of handcrafting, pattern, and adornment. My creativity is sparked from my surroundings — birds, foliage, or curio in a vintage shop. I collage textures, shapes, objects and color to create joyful and sometimes whimsical artwork.
