About Me

My photo
I am a multidisciplinary artist and my work takes many forms. The nature of the subject or the emotional end result dictates the materials, techniques and themes I use. They vary from one piece to another. It all starts with a nagging inspiration. For me making art is always about problem solving and testing the materials. I take a photo, an emotion, or idea and find the significance in it. I feel the only reason to alter an image or accept the challenge of creating art is to present something extra, evoke a feeling, make a statement, define a moment, and say what can not be said with words. I think art can be simple and fun. It doesn’t always have to try and be smarter than the people who want to enjoy it.

Playhouse - The 15th of October you can find my art, for the first time, at the Pasadena ArtWalk, in front of the Pasadena Playhouse, Pasadena California. I will be sitting in my booth surrounded by my large paper sculptures on display and, yes, they are for sale. I am excited to exhibit this way. Hoping for a sunny day!

One Colorado - October 23rd is the outdoor One Colorado show and sale in Pasadena. I will be there with other students and graduates from Pasadena City College and Art Center selling, sharing, and having a great time.

Lots to do this month along with making new work. Fun, fun, fun.
