Artist Statement

I have always been curious and interested in experimenting with various materials and processes. I work in a mix of abstraction and representation in sculpture, printmaking and painting. A pioneer of digital paintings; I slowly began to incorporate traditional materials into my works as technology became more omnipresent, utilizing many itechniques and tools, to the point that the digital is only a very small part of the work and has no presence in my sculpture. Regardless of the medium, my work has always allowed for the unpredictable, accidents and chance.
