About
Artist Statement
As an artist, I am deeply motivated to make art that touches people in the midst of the everyday. My artistic practice is composed of two facets: public art commissions and a private studio practice. Often I create work in the realm of public art, defining a space with a sensitivity that can transform, celebrate, and engage the redemptive qualities of metaphor for the profoundly personal and communal in people’s lives. Both the concepts for my projects and the materials I use, such as precast concrete, stone, bronze, light, glass, ceramic mosaic, and terrazzo originate as a response to the specific site conditions and the location for the artwork such as in walls, floors, sidewalks and plazas. My studio practice is focused primarily in two-dimensional works on paper and canvas and their subsequent exhibition. I work in charcoal, oil paint, litho stones, screen mesh and etching ink. My work is reviewed in Architectural Record, Sculpture, Art in America, and Public Art Review.
