My art evolves from trying to
understand the many differences in cultures and lifestyles,
the varied histories of this country, its areas and people
... to make sense of the world today.
I take found objects that seemingly do
not go together--a broken statue, a plastic ceiling grid,
brass beads, a piece of metal, an old drawing, that is
colored with pencils, a gold-leafed and heavily painted
piece of watercolor paper. Images of the past, present and
parts of my imagination are collages placed together to
convey a feeling that I have of countries where I have been,
places where I want to go and the images of that imaginary
journey.
