ARTIST STATEMENT
My mixed media art isn't always pretty like a flower or a lovely landscape. My art can be raw and ugly or it can even be comical enough to make you snicker to yourself.
My art always conveys a message. The message may be subtle, overt or mixed. The message may be uneasy and loud as a politcal protest.
I hope my art makes you think or, at the very least, provokes a reaction.
