About the Artist

I found screen mesh wire to be my voice for learning the most about the non-corporal me and for changing how people view themselves and life. My use of this medium introduces change and opens ones eyes to possibilities. Through this, my work crosses many barriers of race, class, gender, and socio-economy. Through these believes, I was grant a Leeway Grant in 2005 for a solo exhibit, which hosted over 200 guests. Sculpting is literally an extension of my existence. My work is inspired by self discovery and my life experiences. My work uses both sides of the brain, which is fascinating. It is a mathematical equation composed of light, space, balance, composition, simplicity, beauty, dimension and volume. Each piece carries its own story and poetic energy. Those who interact with my art automatically feel its energy, because the mind is not quite sure how to interpret was it is seeing. The eyes of the viewer are in disbelief, which makes them become that much more involved with each piece. The up close dramatic composition, the changing perspective views, and the transparent intricacies, leave a powerful impression with each viewer. Without these essentials, stands a simple piece of aluminum screen wire.

My vision is to touch the lives of those who find it hard to express themselves, through any other means. I want my art to be that vessel, which others use to connect with their soul, inner-spirit, and/or memories. I want my art to serve as a way to seek inner-peace with stress, hardship, and life’s uncertainties, while reflecting on life’s treasures.
