statement
In my work, I observe the body, inside and out, as a natural system, landscape or small universe. Inspired by the physical commonalities within nature and the human body, I create hybrid anatomical and botanical forms or scenes that evoke surreal, magical worlds. I am interested in the spiritual oneness and interconnectedness of body and nature as one living force, as well as, its inherent menacing and destructive power.

I utilize a diversity of materials including clay, resins, wood, found objects, as well as fabrics, various adornments, artificial and live plants among others. Their textures, colors or forms already present, often guide my creative process.
