For me, the spark of creativity occurs when an idea, an observation, a vintage object, or material from the natural world speaks to me. I am interested in ways historical and cultural context originate and folklore evolves. Time shifts perspectives for both the viewer and the artist. It is this intersection that really attracts and influences me to research and investigate a topic. I seek to inspire curiosity about the ephemera and objects used in my pieces. Is it happenstance or destiny that an image or object has journeyed from another geographic location to arrive in my hand at this place and time to be included in my work? It fascinates me. My pieces focus on the fleeting nature of time and beauty along with a dose of playful whimsy.
