Filling my pockets and head with gleaned "bits" has been a constant throughout my life.   My work slows the experience of looking and asks the viewer to reconsider the familiar.  Our relationship with the objects  that surround us has been a recurring theme in my art, blurring the boundaries between art and life and nudging the viewer to consider  both new meanings and materials. I exhibit regularly and have been involved in a number of collaborative and community based art projects.
