Artist Statement

Having grown up hiking endlessly through the chaparral of Southern California, I developed a deep and lifelong love for nature and the environment.

I am inspired by the plants and animals that make the world such a wonderful and colorful place in which life to live. It is therefore no surprise that my passion for the natural wonders of the world manifests itself in my desire to reproduce in my art what I see and love in the outdoor world . After many years of experimenting with various media: oils, watercolors, ceramics and pastels, I discovered the ancient art of enameling.

I take great pleasure in the permanent nature of my enamels, as each creation is unique and original. With the shrinking coral reefs, diminishing wilderness and ever-changing nature of our planet, I am provided solace from knowing that the natural wonders captured in my art will be memorialized in glass and copper for perhaps centuries to come, untouched by the ravages of age to inspire generations to come
