"As an artist, I am focused on material exploration

and found objects. I have a fascination with the “made” world, the tools and toys of our daily lives, and the often-overlooked items discarded or ignored around us. This has always manifested itself in my fine art works through the subjects that I draw and paint, or in the materials I use to express my ideas throughout the creative process.

"As I have taught myself

the art of cabinet making

over the past few years,

I have often thought about “the hand of the maker” and what exactly that can tell someone as they experience our art. It is a beautiful notion to think about the connection our patrons can have to us through our works, by way of the evidence of our process

left behind during

the making of a piece."
