Artist Statement

It always begins with a flash, a vivid vision or conceptual idea poking at me, asking to be heard. Like playful pups or children tugging at my arm sleeve begging me to come and play. My art is born out of necessity to commune with and give breath to my joy, my pain my longings and my childlike wonderment and Awe. My dreams are vivid and many times like mini stage plays or abstract Fellini movies. My longings are insistent and they involve passionate cravings for new discoveries, for the thrill of risk taking, for reciprocity in relationship, for pulling back the vail. For meaningful connection. My composition in art involves orchestrating a menagerie of practical, purposeful techniques and instinctual, flamboyant flights of fancy.

My need for expression has become it's own art form. 

This series is my attempt to synthesize each of these intangible ideas through my personal evolution.

I started journaling at a young age, and have since felt the need to document this life experience, to notice and appreciate, to tell my own story in hopes of learning more about who I am and what my purpose in this existence is. I have continued this process by exploring performance, prose and photography and multimedia, which are all represented in my digital collages.
