Artist Statement

My art begins with plastic bags and mesh produce sacks, materials once destined for the landfill, which I transform into layered compositions. Fused with heat and reworked through cutting, layering, and stitching, these once-disposable materials are reborn as textured, vibrant, and playful images that shift between the abstract and the familiar. I love the idea that I can turn waste into something lovely to look at while rescuing a little waste from the landfill.

In addition to working with fused plastic, I explore collage, assemblage, painting, papier-mâché, surface design and jewelry.
