Lives and works in Miami, Florida, USA

Artist statement

My work is created through the lens of child-like imaginative play. I collect forgotten and abandoned items on the beaches and streets of Miami to use as the raw material for my work. By harvesting material from the world around me, I allow objects’ inherent visual and conceptual properties to serve a function in my abstract and representational assemblages. By imbedding objects of interest within my compositions, viewers have the opportunity to search for and find items which hold intrinsic meaning for them as individuals, each discovery is unique.
