MIXED MEDIA ARTIST WITH AN EYE FOR THE UNUSUAL
Art is a reflection of ones personal experience, culture and vision. Artistic expression is a direct reflection of persons values, identity,experiences and aesthetics- it’s personal. My work tells stories of personal inspiration and exploration through the use of silver, metal, glass, resin, wood and other mixed-media materials. It can reflect both historical and contemporary context through research and experimentation. Process and research is my muse in creating work. I find inspiration: reflect, research and create an idea, then explore the possibilities of how to create it. Moving backwards in my process I work through my idea in a series- exploring the many paths that I come to.
