Artist Statement
My formal arts education in the 1980’s focused on conceptual art, installation art and printmaking. I continue to use a conceptual framework in my arts practice when designing installations incorporating sculpture, painting, photography and printmaking. I play with alternate visual perspectives and enjoy re-framing conversations that have become embedded in our vernacular. Often exaggerating conventional opinion, while illustrating darker aspects of our human nature and our consumerist roles in contemporary culture.
