Artist Statement

Like an early land surveyor mapping the contours of the countryside, I respond to personal landmarks both familiar and unfamiliar.

My makings document ordinary moments and experiences that I collect.  These observations ask questions and reflect my considerations of wholeness, transition and transparency.
