Artist Statement:

“I have questions regarding a variety of feelings I have had while traveling. Regardless of destination, I exist as I am.

My most current work, is site specific in that the subject matter addresses the changes to spaces taking place around me physically. They are combined with steel to emphasize the relationship to building materials.

As an artist, not an architect, I do not see a building as a lifeless object, but instead believe, that human beings and the spaces that they inhabit, exist in harmony out of necessity.”

We appreciate our sponsors 4Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Office of Arts & Culture for theirsupport and for making this event possible!
