ARTIST STATEMENT
Cast off.
Thrown away.
Lost.
Forgotten.
Wood.
Cardboard.
Paper.
Metal.
Cloth.
These are the objects I love to use in my art.
It’s exciting to come across items that most people see as having no use but inspire me to do a painting, a drawing, or can be put together with something else to make a sculpture.
I sometimes paint on new or secondhand canvases but that is not as inspiring as the found objects.
Some of these objects sit around my house or studio for years until the right idea that will honor them comes to me.
I make my pieces using pencils, markers, acrylic paint, and latex house paint, much of it from garage sales, thrift shops, and The RE Store.
