Artist Statement:
“I am a storyteller at heart. My art is idea driven, combining simple, easy to read images that, when
woven together, add symbolic meaning to each other. I combine elements of still life and allegory,
raising questions about social and environmental issues. Visual puzzles to be solved, allegories depend
on both insight and suggestion. Peering into a setting of familiar objects that reflect our own history, we
consider our experience in the context of the social commentary and current events which animate the
objects. Layered conceptually, like a complex chord, these visual stories present what people may not
wish to see–questions about who we are, who we want to be, and what stories we want to author.”
