In my work, I like to evoke a smile on the viewer’s face, much like a comedian who delights in hearing an audience laugh at a joke. I approach my art with a sense of whimsy and playfulness.  For me the creative process is a playground.  I’m often inspired by materials and their possibilities, driven by curiosity and a desire to explore. Creating art in any medium, is an ongoing process. I change things as I go, allowing the work to evolve and emerge. It is a continuum rather than a destination,  a process rather than a finished piece.   I work with clay, paint, paper, printmaking, driftwood, digital pixels and a camera. I often create a set of sculptures, I am drawn to gesture and to the relationships between the individual pieces - to the ways they interact and converse with one another. A finished piece can continue to change when placed next to another piece, viewed from another angle, or encountered in a new context.  My art is a journey of exploration, of seeking rather than finding. Nothing is ever quite settled, there is always another possibility.
