Designing & painting over 15 years. I work in a pure aesthetic style with interests in the Pattern & Decoration movements. My unique praxis, explores positive cultural concepts in humanity. I offer the viewer reflection through a conceptual abstract colorist palette. I nurture & share my artistic technique & discipline. My artworks are tools for transformation & give voice to positive issues. My muse is colorist photography. Conceptually, I produce refreshing, uplifting & insightful cultural manifestations through art, design & technology | a transmedia discourse.
What does it mean to celebrate beauty, whimsy & joy as we reshape our world? My annual collections focus specifically on positive reflections. art & design.

I am interested in creating objects and sculpture that capture tenuous moments. The spontaneity and whimsy that develops through the process of repetitive manipulation and stress upon materials such as glass, wood, paper and metal has always captured my curiosity. I am interested in the moments where a material is mutated but not yet completely transformed or destroyed--the space where new patterns emerge. I am interested in the relationship of these patterns with one another and with myself, as an artist and an observer. 

My focus is on furniture and Jewelry. The furniture is inspired by industrial architecture and is made with the use of Steel, wood and glass.
The jewelry has been changing over the years going from very organic forms to more architectural, sharp and clean lines.

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." Thomas Merton

I am an artist working  primarily with glass, in its myriad forms. for over 30 years. my work often tells a story. I draw upon language,natural forms and abstraction to express my ideas. I leave room for mystery. I am deeply connected to the natural world and use  mostly recycled materials.I've collaborated with Linda Raynsford on several large scale public art commissions.

Telling Tales:
For as long as humans have wandered the earth, there have been stories: tales told, tales heard.
Stories teach us, stories ward off the dark, stories bind us together...so many people, so much time, so many stories.
Today stories are told in pictures, in words, in code flying through the air. They differ from teller to teller. Who listens and what's heard differ too.
