Artist Statement
Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on the grotesque by way of distortion, transformation, repetition, dark humor, absurdity, contrasting color palettes, and the play between positive and negative space. In this way, the grotesque represents the in-between—the blurring of the borders between fact and fiction, the known and the unknown, gender and sexuality, reality and dreams, and the beautiful and the ugly.

Artist Statement
Exploration, quiet reflection, and response are critical to my artistic process. Through this process, I create images that are representations of my journey. My work has become an autobiography.

Artist Statement
I have been working with remnants (found objects) including welded steel and other mixed media works. My interest is based on physical attraction to the material as well as intrigue with the material’s history.
