Rigid perceptions close off possibility,
but personal shifts can reopen the world.
I think of my artwork as creating portals
to new ways of seeing.
During my years of journalism and independent travel in Asia, Africa and the Middle East,
I assimilated new palettes and shapes
into my visual thinking.
My degree in international studies
taught me the currency of cultures,
my observation of people going about their lives
gave me a vocabulary of gestures.
In all my work, I attempt to penetrate and lift contextual veils.
I focus on fine details so that even the mundane
illustrates perfection.
I carve visions of what lies beyond ordinary views.
Through these pieces,
I hope to inspire ideas
