ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work is the expression of my experiences and emotions, a collection of things I find amusing, beautiful, nostalgic, humorous or absurd. With one brush stroke or stitch, it's how I'm thinking, feeling and observing the world. The work is also about sustainability as I source recycled materials in the creation process. Inspiration stems from creative innovators like the late Jillian Owens, a.k.a the re-fashionista who transformed the most hideous thrift store finds into ready-wear fashion.
