About     


Bio/Artist statement

Affiliations with conservation/educational organizations have matured my awareness of people's connections with nature. Desire for harmony with my surroundings prompted me to delve into the study of specialty paint techniques, trompe l'oeil and the practice of feng shui. My current sculptural works range from ephemeral to concrete in my use of natural and found objects, and cement. The commodity of human hair inspired the continuing series called "Renewable Resource". Fear of the irreversible pollution to the environment and our gene pool inspired the protest with the "Dirty Bomb" series.
