Artist Statement

Through installations, photography, video, and the spoken word, I create art that expresses the generosity of the human spirit. Whichever medium I choose, that spirit can be discovered through conversations… by connecting with another human being. 

Life is fascinating to me. It has brilliance. It’s quirky, profound, heart-thumping, and wonder-filled… kind of like the human race.

I plant seeds for conversations. There’s bounty of connecting waiting to bloom. See you at the harvest.
