I invite the place that I live to encompass me, wholeheartedly. It is a workplace for my development as an artist and critical thinker of the world we live in, especially the place we all call home. The environment and its workings are ever present in my work. I look at the world around me symbolically and present it as such in the work that I create. I observe connections between the plant, animal and human world that present concerns, desires and realities for many of us to consider or experience. My work is influenced greatly by use of paper fiber and pigments. The works included are images made with paper pulp, prints with or without images made with paper pulp, and pencil or ink drawings.
