Form, color, pattern, texture, image. These elements, and their juxtaposition, have been the focus of my more recent work. The natural world, and how it works in combination and contrast with the human one, has always intrigued me. And how things stay together and deteriorate- fall apart- has been an interest. Finally, infusing my work with social commentary- often subtlety, sometimes not so-within the context of creating a beautiful piece has been important to me.
