The act of creating brings me to a different place within myself. Being there inspires my work. I began this journey later in life and have found that the surprise of creation is always fresh and new whatever age.

| About the Artist |
My work is about dreams and nightmares, fears and joys. It is about memory and those things we wish to remember, but have no way of knowing how to remember. It is about everything we will never be able to understand, but wish to. |
