Unexpected and unconventional, I want more than anything for my art be a vehicle of discovery. Recording to film my hearts bliss of rural American objects and using the medium of words to palette along with lifeworn objects applied together with an element of unusual technique.
The thrill of the enchanted moment when an image is found to record, the surprise when that rusty piece that I didnÕt know I was looking for raises its hand to be noticed are the inspiration for a lifetime of images filed in my heart to be communicated.
Influenced by curious adventures, seeking the soul of life with optimism, following a journey, and recording it in my art is my joy to share.
ABOUT THE WORK SHOWN HERE
printed in U. — Life worn, dimensional, found objects woven within a reflective space that invite the question, ÒWhat got printed in you?Ó Like remnants of a dream, the experience takes a new form.
long way home — A hand cranked music box and images from rural America are embalmed in resin to evoke distant memories.
