Artist Profile

I create one-of-a-kind folk art.... always with a pun! I like to say that you can see my fingerprints on everything I make.... even literally sometimes. For me the journey of creating art is usually more important than the resulting art.

I am almost always on a new trip somewhere, most often without any preconceived notions of where I am going. To forget any artistic techniques I have learned and to make mistakes - is my freedom in creation.

What I make may take the form of figurative sculpture, ornamentation, collage, assemblage, or torched tin. I may use a variety of materials such as; a found object or objects, fabric, clay, papier mache, paper, wire, tin, paint, etc. Nothing is held sacred.

The art of Halloween is my passion. I do it year round in addition to other themes, and seasonal work.
