Lives and works in Oakland, CA, USA

Artist statement

Through my work, I hope that people will discover new ways to look at our complex and challenging world. My New York City roots combined with the Bay Area’s counter-cultural ethos, political and environmental activism, and passion for nature inform the themes and style of my work. My sculptural installations incorporate a diverse range of industrial, found, and barely identifiable materials, from wire tomato cages to bowling balls to roofing tar paper. Through my sense of play and irony, I seek out beauty in chance and the mundane.
