As an artist I explore the compelling contrasts between form, essence and abstraction. I thrive on experimenting with different and unconventional materials. To me failure is not in my vocabulary, it only leads to a new learning
experience that may lead to something extraordinary.

Juried into a National Show by one of the Guggenheim Museum curators. Will be at BWAC in Brooklyn NY, May 11 – July 7, 2019.
Title: Extinct
This piece speaks to the five animal kingdoms and how the planet is losing over ten thousand species each year due to climate change. The five vessels are made of shards of ostrich eggs. The egg is symbolic of all living things and in the case the broken shards represents the extent species within each of the five kingdoms. I selected to display the vessels on reflective black Plexiglas for several reasons. In this case black represents death or absent of color and the reflective nature is to make one reflect back to all the species we have lost.

Title: Endangered
This piece was inspired by the book “Endangered Species” and was made into an altered book art. The images from the book are of the endangered species from the African continent. The back side shows the region they are from. The design or shape was fashioned after the skate or mermaid purse. The skate symbolizes that there is an embryo and the hope that the species will continue.
This art is being donated to Marin Museum of Contemporary Art and will be auctioned off at their annual fund raiser. The altered book show is from April 27 thru June 1st. Opening reception April 27 with the closing auction on June 1st.
