I am a prolific artist who is currently working with metal. I had the great fortune to attend Spokane Falls Community College for three years of art education in both 2D and 3D disciplines. My work at this point is metal covered boxes, jewelry, chains, etchings, hand-cast objects. I work at art for the better part of every day. I can’t imagine being happy doing anything else!
I work mostly in acrylic and oil with hard edges, intense colors, and finicky detail. I like to show what’s absurd but not impossible, to take the ordinary out of context, and to turn the familiar into the strange.
