Artist Statement: My inspiration is drawn from world culture, ethnic textiles, and the harmonious colors reflected from nature. I’m interested in cultural diversity, rituals, symbolism, language, and the ever-changing symbiosis of communities and nature. My creative process lives in the 'experimental' phase; I’m always searching for nuances that evoke feelings of simple delight and beauty; whether that be in the discovery of a new medium, a pleasing brushstroke, gestural line or color combination.
