Artist Statement

My work is a reflection of thoughts, philosophy, and an ongoing interpretation of personal engagement with the world. I employ natural curiosity and continue to explore the abstract world with forms, shapes, rhythms and lines. My 3D work through sculptures, wall pieces and jewelry as creative forms is based on hand drawn sketches, drawings and designs. I make them with hand fabrication and craftsmanship.
