“Let the guidance be the vision.” Unlike most who plan with predictable steps and procedures, my approach is obedience to my curiosity. This musing becomes the roadmap where uncertainty and intuition yield artistic growth and discovery through raw, free range, explorative art making. I probe and meander proficiently through music, video, theater, metal smithing, illustration and painting, seeing art as language with which I am multilingual. I investigate humanity through storytelling, consumerism and social justice, with an affinity for the beauty of human error in handmade objects, mark-making and documenting human experience.

Moving fluidly between disciplines, some of which merge seamlessly, I chase discoveries that appear as my many interests inform and influence one another. Rhythm, line, vibrant color palettes, and form are elements that bind my work as a thread across practices, whether exploring sound, figurative and abstract imagery or small wearable objects. 
The energy fueling my practice is my personal objective to leave artifacts or “art-of-facts,” as evidence of my existence and contributions as a working artist. My objective is to create beauty, positively influence the lives
of others through empathy, while provoking compassion and togetherness, where my artistic offerings are the catalyst.
