“My work is an expression of joy and above all, a manifestation of my boundless love.”

My mind is always wandering and exploring ideas, while my eyes capture and document everything around me. I find inspiration in the physical world and creativity in the metaphysical one. I believe, all art is an osmosis of sensory stimuli in to a physical manifestation of our experiences. I allow my consciousness to translate the dialogue between my physical experiences and my imagination. Art transports me to a world of wonder. It’s a world of limitless possibilities of my imagination. Making art allows me to physically express the snap shots of my mind’s wanderings. I strive to evoke a feeling of “jaimais vu”, something that seems familiar and yet is novel and unexpected. 

My sculptures are like my children, each with its own personality, - some are easy, while others can be rather challenging. Yet I feel it is my responsibility to present them in their most uninhibited and beautiful form. Throughout the creative process, I am in a conversation with them, as they come to life and reveal themselves and their names to me. While the seed of their creation comes from nature, I do not project my thoughts onto them. Instead, it is a spontaneous interaction between me and my medium - an unscripted process which leaves me eager to meet my babies as they emerge from the kiln, colorful and lively!
