I have always loved painting, and I especially like making small objects, with rich surfaces.  Sometimes I get lost in pure pattern, other times I discover an evocative narrative, in any case I obsessively dive into the surface, to discover a story.  It is especially satisfying for me when someone makes a personal relationship with my work, connecting the narrative I have begun with a meaningful archive of their own.  For the past 15 years I have worked as a full time studio artist making a combination of functional and sculptural works.  It’s a good life.
