Artist Statement

I am inspired by the small, the diminutive and the easily overlooked. In art, I gravitate toward things found insignificant by others- a single coquina shell, a pale moth, a minuscule flower in deep grass. Those things that are so easy to miss are often filled with a stunning and modest beauty that is just waiting for the right eye to acknowledge their sublime perfection and subtle place in the whole.
