STATEMENT

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO TELLING VISUAL STORIES WITH THE USE OF COLLAGE, AND  MIXED MEDIA. MY PROCESS CONSISTS OF COMBINING AND ASSEMBLING MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES AND MEDIUMS WITHIN THE SAME PIECE WHILE PLAYING WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 2 AND 3 DIMENSION. MY MATERIALS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:  OIL, ACRYLIC, PHOTO TRANSFER, POLYMER RESIN, FABRIC, PAPER, WOOD & FOUND OBJECTS.

MY NARRATIVE IS NOT LITERAL BUT SYMBOLIC. I USE RELIGIOUS, MYTHIC & HISTORICAL ICONS, AS WELL AS OTHER FOUND AND SELF ASSEMBLED OBJECTS.  MY GOAL IS TO SHOW HOW AND WHY WE CREATE OUR OWN REALITIES IN ORDER TO COPE AND TRANSCEND THE CHALLENGES IN OUR DAILY LIVES.

The Artist with Jesse, 1972
