Artist Statement:
“In my work I convey brief
moments and interludes in our
lives and leave it to the
viewer's own individual
experience and imagination to
recapture these tales and turn
them into their own stories.
Our lives are moments; each
one lived with the importance
of the instant. The moments
vanish as quickly as they come
leaving behind memories,
impressions, images, colors
and feelings. These moments
shape the routines and rituals
of our everyday lives and
define our humanness”.
My recent work involves the
use of fire as a metaphor for
change and self-renewal. I
have incorporated the use of
mixed-media (acrylic, colored
pencil, wood, plexiglass,
found objects and collage) to
suggest our ever evolving
states of maturity and self
reflection. It seems to me
that there exists a simple
universal attraction to fire
as a symbol of transformation,
and the renewing elemental
spirit of life. This capacity
for change dwells within each
of us. Renewal is both the
journey and the ending point,
fueled by the fire of our need
to grow and change....
