Artist statement…

Growing up in Kansas black-soil farming country. Living in North Georgia's lush green, red-clay country. Birthing calves and raising children on thirty acres. Studying design in a uniquely creative, nurturing college town. Appreciation of the non-judgmental and unpretentious. The kind and unkindness of man and nature. These things have influenced who I am as an individual and contribute to the emotion and inspiration behind my artwork.

My conceptual and narrative work reflects my view of the human random found and recycled objects. Quite often the object suggests the outcome-sometimes surprising and sometimes disturbing.
