• CONCEPT STATEMENT

    As a set designer and teacher I became fascinated with capturing the essence of an environment. As an artist I am aware of the value, and creative possibilities, of giving new life to found objects. Placing everyday things on miniature scale backgrounds connects the real with the imaginary.

  • Ornate hardware pieces suggest baroque decoration, game pieces create a timeless quality, while clocks indicate the passage of time. Mirrors engage the viewer in a piece, if ever so briefly.

  • I enjoy contrasting the natural with the man-made, the crude with the refined and the simple with the complex.

    It is my hope that others embrace these characteristics as well.

  • “If you discard it, it’s trash, if you repurpose it, it’s art !”
