About The Artist

 

ENTER A WORLD SOMEWHERE BETWEEN REAL AND IMAGINED

 

Depicting an ‘almost-but-not-quite-real’ world somewhere between authentic and imagined, my artwork celebrates ambiguity, sliding in and out of reality, and compelling me to challenge previous ideas and established thoughts. 

 

I ask you to consider:

• What is it?

• Where is it?

• What do you see?

• What do you feel?

• Do you find yourself in it, or not?

 

My influences include 19th and 20th century African sculpture; the Constructivism, Geometric Abstraction and Cubism (Picasso, Braque, Lipschitz) art movements; Giorgio de Chirico’s ‘illogical perspective’ works; Louise Nevelson’s bas relief works; Joseph Cornell’s shadow boxes; and Frank Stella’s metal reliefs, among others.

 

Educated at Boston University (BFA, sculpture) and Cranbrook Academy of Art (MFA, sculpture), I see sculpturally and create bas relief artworks using a variety of materials. Building three-dimensional forms, I adhere each element to the base, juxtaposing forms and shapes to highlight their points of contact and the shadows they cast.

 

I invite you to glimpse into my interpreted world and discover where you find yourself.
