My young son and I live in Amherst, Massachusetts. I have been a maker for as long as I can remember. I like to move between mediums. From painting to metal smithing to lasercutting.

I always admired artists that had a very distictive and honed body of work. I wondered if maybe I wasn’t a serious artist since I struggled to choose a single style, a single medium, a single subject matter. The longer I have been creating, the more I have come to embrace and see my fluidity as an integral part of my art making.

My creative practice is opening in new ways as I watch my son explore the world. I am embracing the many wonders around us with fresh eyes inspired by my son’s enthusiastic and curious eyes. He is reminding me of the importance of exploring objects with ones hands and eyes. I love watching as he becomes his own unique self.
