About the Artist

There’s never been a time I wasn’t working on making something. The thrill of learning I could take an ordinary thing like paper, paint, string, cloth, or clay and turn it into something new that had never existed before was powerful. Making something from nothing was like magic as a kid and it still is today.  

I create now for the same reason I did then; to play, have fun, explore and follow whatever I find inspiring and interesting each day. I’m intrigued not by what is easily seen on the surface, but by the colours, lines, patterns, rhythms and swirling energy that lies just beneath. 

I enjoy creating problems to solve using a defined set of rules and variables. Whether it is testing colour systems in abstract paintings, or pushing the limits of gravity with ceramic sculpture, the result often leads to the exploration of additional possibilities and ideas to try. 

Art is a way of interacting closely with the world around me. While I believe everyone is creative, artists do see things a little bit differently. We notice the details. We ask questions. We look for solutions and we create something we hope the viewer will find interesting, inspiring and maybe even make them smile.
