THE STORY:
My formal arts education in the 1980’s focused on conceptual art, installation art and printmaking. I continue to use a conceptual framework in my arts practice when designing installations, sculpture, painting, photography and printmaking. Employing a variety of visual perspectives I enjoy framing conversations, and playing with our constantly changing vernacular. Observing and illustrating aspects of our human nature, our roles in contemporary culture and the importance of environmental conservation.
