Biography

This collection is representative of how I like to live my life. On the surface, these are everyday materials. We’ve all seen them or used them in traditional ways. I like to take the ordinary and push it as far as I can. In the tradition of Folk Art, I want what I make to be accessible, pleasant, utilitarian. Even if its only utility is to make you “feel” when looking at it. I like to dig around the hardware store, the thrift store or even my pile of storage behind my garage and pick and pull until I have some objects that make me feel good. Sometimes I dream about a visual. Once I wake up, I’m on a quest to recreate that dream or that feeling.
