 Artist Statement

"My organic and vocabulary of shapes and colors is drawn from the natural world, and its structure. Sometimes I combine these aesthetics with geometry of shapes and rhythm."

Also an inspiration - "Once the object is constructed, I have the tendency to find in it - transformed and shifted - images, impressions, facts that have moved me deeply (often unbeknownst to me), forms I feel are very close to me, though I am not often incapable of identifying them, which makes them even more toubling."  Alberto Giacometti
