Artist Statement

I am a contemporary, multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses traditional craft practices with experimental materials and processes. The majority of my work is inspired by my love of the sea and the beautiful aquatic creatures that live there. I especially adore using oceanic materials, found objects, and vitreous enamel. Recently, I found a new intrest using acrylic and resin to visualize ambiguous concepts of water, such as movements of waves and currents.
