“I DREAM, THEREFORE, I AM”

I CREATE ART BECAUSE I MUST.
IT IS A NECESSARY EXTENSION OF MY LIFE.
IT IDENTIFIES AND SUBSTANTIATES MY EXISTENCE.
IT IS MY PROFILE AND MY LEGACY.
I WANT TO INTRIGUE AND ENTERTAIN.
I WANT TO INITIATE WONDER AND QUESTIONS.
I WANT TO COMMUNICATE MY THOUGHTS, DREAMS AND DESIRES.
MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO BE!

My work combines the immediate and the ancient. I apply post-modern materials to the centuries-old processes of basketry and weaving. As a weaver and basket maker, I follow the path of a thousand generations of artists from around the world. As a contemporary artist, I’m concerned with how our plastic trash impacts the environment.

Both physically and conceptually, my materials are creations of the modern age. Physically, they are by-products of industrialization.
Conceptually, the notions of disposability and one-time-use are purely modern inventions. I hope to help raise the awareness that leads to reducing our production of trash.
