About the Artist

I create art using things that I find, collect and re-use. I paint and construct storybook scenarios, pictographs, rebuses, retablos and altars with messages and questions implied.
My materials and grounds are salvaged building materials, old metal signs, household objects, forlorn and forgotten children’s toys, along with other discarded items.
I create my work in hopes of shining a light on the ephemeral beauty of life in this world while raising questions about what we value, what we hold sacred and what is disappearing before our very eyes. Using an intuitive language of symbols, illustrated iconic portraits of birds and wildlife combined with idiomatic phrases and random thoughts, my intension is to create hieroglyphic messages to the future or “postcards from now”.
