Ranging from large outdoor installations to sculptures, map paintings, and ceramic assemblages, my eclectic approach to creating artwork often ignites one's imagination with propane flame effects and interactivity. My working process invites collaboration, the end results carry the viewer out of the mundane trivialities of life into a space of reflection, amazement, and awe through the reinvention of mythical, historical, and iconic themes. My process is dedicated to up-cycling and repurposing objects. The style in which I create incorporates mold making, body casting, and bronze foundry techniques.
I was raised Catholic but rejected the church's tenants by age seven. I found comfort not in Church or in God's hands, but in nature. Out in the woods and open fields of a small New England town, I constructed imaginary spaces for my friends and I to escape to. That creative expression of my youth can now be seen in the way in which I translate work into play while overseeing crew and creating installations today. Yet, the feminine found within religious iconography in cultures worldwide intrigue me. My assemblages reflect these concepts as I expose woman's experience through the old idiom of Served On A Silver Platter. By juxtaposing ceramic hearts and body parts with silver bowls and goblets, I inform the viewer of notions regarding woman's rights and "place" in society.
