Each of my sculptures, designs and illustrations has a story to tell. All of my artwork is one of a kind and hand-built from clay or sketched and painted in oil paint. A lot of my newer work is mixed media, and you may see drawing, painting and embroidery adorning the surfaces.
I have always known I wanted to be an artist or a designer. Making art is in my bones. My childhood was spent wandering the forest and fields surrounding our home in northern New York. Foraging for berries and wildflowers all summer, and in the winter, there were snowshoes and ice skates. I was always dreaming and pretending.
There were no neighborhood children on our rural farm, just my siblings, livestock and the wildlife surrounding our home. All of this is coupled with fairy tales and legends.
No matter how old you get, try never to lose the fantasy worlds and dreams you once held as a child.
