STATEMENT

The primary objective of my work is to create thoughtful, personal compositions which explore relationships with the world around us. 

My forms are rooted in an aesthetic developed through an interest in architecture and design. The understated designs developed by mid-century architects and designers provide a springboard to help resolve the relationship between form and function. These concepts for organizing space are put to work through proportion, Segmentation, and through the use of color and surface.

Divergent, contrasting, surfaces, and patterns explore design elements and metaphors for the intersection of urban development and nature.  These surfaces include ecological inspirations contrasted with geometric patterns to create play between divisions which reference structures, neighborhoods, and local ecology. My floral patterns are designed to highlight local native plants and the importance of relationships with nature by highlighting indigenous species of plants..  

These busy contemplative, functional, objects highlight the world in which we live by exploring ways we often segment, structure and compartmentalize our worlds and curated experiences.
