My work consists of mixed/media elements – glass, beads, wood, metal, and fabric. These are put together in such a manner as to allude to the Neo-primitive aspects of early modern art. And, the use of vibrant color opens our eyes to the richness of color surrounding us each day. Masks are used in some of my work bringing to mind the manner in which ritual cultures use them to role play. Everyday life hides much of the beauty around us (i.e. the mask symbolizes everyday existence). The use of mirrors brings the viewer into the work making ourselves part of the piece. Finally, my art is created to heal through color, image and visual rhythm. For, love is Cosmic Rhythm. My work is (hopefully) the visualization of that rhythm- bringing each of us together in a collective dance of love.
