Artist Statement


I am a native Los Angeles artist. My mixed media approach combines paper, artist markers, lights, and most recently, motors and audio, in the creation of illuminated three-dimensional works.  They are a fusion of two-dimensional images that are layered in space and sculptural elements, all housed in boxes. I incorporate both realism and fantasy to produce pieces through which I not only process life, but seek to share it as well.  

The myriad of possibilities available through the usage of lights is a driving force for what I come up with in my pieces: from simulated fireworks to a flickering firefly lantern to a lightning storm. Light appeals to me for its transformative and alluring qualities.

I have always loved stories, and the content of my work is often story driven. My “Smitten” series is a romantic, comic adaptation of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. My toad pieces are based on children’s books, one of which I have written. Current projects that I am working on are inspired by song lyrics, folktales, art masterpieces, and cultures.
