My work is an exploration of physical process and materials as well as visual subject matter. Whether I’m working with paints and brushes or fabric and stitches, a sense of joy is always realized in observing the progression from a blank canvas or design wall to an image with shapes, textures, and colors of my own creation. I look for inspiration in the world around me, and I find it in many things — the drama of a stormy summer sky, the quiet beauty of reflections in water, or the weathered surfaces found in an old building.

Most of the time we are so busy just trying to get through the daily rush of our lives, we tend to overlook the beauty in simple, ordinary objects. My challenge is to take something common and turn it into something unexpected through artistic expression.
