artist’s statement

I work through different media. If it is folding, sawing, or painting, I do it for use. Use and pleasure are the two motivating factors for the art and the expression in my world. If I was angry, it shows, the same applies for if I was tranquil.

Art class is only a way to do art, and in my free time, I always enjoy the act of creating.

Art is my way of escaping, if it is into the world of the brush, or the realm of the saw, I am indifferent. In both cases it will take me to a different world where there is no going back until somebody calls you in for dinner or tells you that the flight is leaving.

Travel is the main influence for my work. Weather it is figuring out how to make a model boat while I am on a boat, or a ski rack when I go skiing for a month, I always try to make art and construction that is about where I am and what I am doing or needing.

One day, I’m sure that I will narrow down my way of expressing myself, but for now all forms of art are open to me, and I love them all equally!
