Artist's Statement

I approach art making like I approach life; a journey of exploration, based upon self-reflection and self-awareness. I thrive on the juxtaposition of different media converging to tell a story. I am especially intrigued by the assemblage of seemingly unrelated objects coming together in unique ways to convey a message. Currently, I am exploring the convergence of photography with 3-D objects. I want my work to make a connection with the viewer, hopefully evoking that same self-reflection, and self-awareness.  I have no grandiose expectations of my art changing the world, but if my creations can open just one mind or catalyze a thoughtful conversation, then I consider that piece a resounding success.
