Artist’s Statement

Since I can remember I’ve always had the drive to create something. My mom said that even as a toddler I had to be constantly building something. If I’m not creating something I feel lost, hopeless. Ennui. As soon as I learned that the work artist as a job description, that’s what I wanted to be.

This path has been strewn with challenges, not the least of which was my own self doubt.
Maria entered my life as a force of nature. She quickly became my biggest cheerleader and harshest critic, forcing me to explain, improve and innovate. But she always believed in me. Now that she’s gone, I want to share what she saw in me to the world.

Outside of the art studio, through a door, there is stretches of grass and a shed in the background.
