Artist Bio:
I am inspired by industrial design, natural materials and vintage objects. Putting a variety of materials together, in old boxes, in frames, in and on foundry patterns and old wood typifies much of my work. Whether creating a collage or assemblage, I generally use these old parts that have stood the test of time.

I apply materials somewhat ambiguous in meaning, but arranged in a well-designed manner. For me, it is all about the visual impact. The objects I choose often don't routinely "go together"; the resulting work necessitates thought on the viewer's part. Because I use many recycled materials, all of my pieces are original, never to be duplicated. I like to use a variety of mediums to create something a bit more unusual so that I can bring a different twist to something that may otherwise be considered ordinary.

My art clearly may mean one thing to one person and possibly something different to another. Each of us has a unique set of experiences that inhabit our perceptions and cause us to react one way or another to what we see. My goal is that my art will strike at that perception and will appeal to many.
