My artwork is symbolic. Concepts about our culture are expressed unconventionally. Familiar objects removed from their usual context are re-imagined and reconstructed as artworks. 

In the “armor and façade series”, for example, which I see as “how we protect and present ourselves”,  the non-wearable modern garment artwork “armor” is figurative sculpture without the figure. A turtleneck becomes “Shield”; a t-shirt becomes the prefix “En”; a t-shirt dress becomes “Exodus”.

My vessels tell a story, a contemporary viewpoint visually told in a format inspired by and akin to the storytelling imagery on the Ancient Greek amphorae.

My wall-work ceremonial masks - inspired by the iconic characters of Shakespeare’s dramas - speak to how various personalities - even today in non-fiction - wear “masks” in daily life. My Lady Macbeth “Upend” portraits a fearsome façade, but the face I’ve drawn upon her forehead tells of the angst hidden within.

 The series “Exodus Addendums”, paintings/stitchings on silk, are faceless figures whose implied sense of movement expresses intention and character.
