Artist's Statement:
I try to create art that makes people think, remember and feel. I really appreciate humor; so, I like to use punny titles, unique materials and subjects that will make people smile! I have explored oils, pencil, ink, watercolors and mixed media. During the past few years, assemblage of recycled materials has caught my interest. This is due to the fact that the matierials I often use make it a very socially responsible art form while the viewer see everyday items in a totally different perspective! Sometimes, this includes their own image!
