Artist Statement

I think of my work as domestic art: it is either for or about the home. As an artist and story collector, my ultimate goal is to make meaningful connections with others through my work. At the root of this practice is my observation that everyday objects, and our interactions with them, have the power to impact us in meaningful ways.

I collect inspiration from the ever-changing landscape inside my house. It is an endless source of ideas for forms, subject matter, and surface treatment. Since the birth of my two children, my domestic landscape has been radically altered. My most recent works analyze and celebrate this transformed space. I respond to the haphazard child detritus or paraphernalia I now find commonplace. The objects I make are a study and celebration of the beauty to be found amongst a mess. The work is sturdy, bright, and just right.
