I live in sunny Longboat Key, Florida and enjoy spending time creating in my studio.
​
I’m a self taught, mixed media assemblage and sculpture artist. My toolbox consists of things like paper clay, acrylics, encaustic, resin, wood, wire, recycled cardboard, found objects and so much more! I source materials from old foundries, barns, salvage yards and estate sales. I select pieces for their shape, patina and beauty.
​
My work celebrates the "art of possibility", breathing new life into discarded objects and turning them into unique, three-dimensional artworks. I love seeing how they evolve from nothing into something!
