In my work many different series have emerged, causing a layered representation of development in my life. Things change, wounds heal, and new experiences build upon one another coating the surface. What lies beneath is the emotional presence of place within that time.
Where do you find inspiration?At some point we are all able to create without the common misconception that “I’m not an artist”. Children are born with a developing path of thoughts and actions that prime each’s own mark making on the world. I perceive beauty in the everyday, the mundane to most. My work embraces remembrance of surrounding place, childhood, and time. Memory is a strange component, encompassing the past, allowing the present to take hold, and lead that experience towards a future.
What would you do with $25,000?It's more about the chance for the world to see the creations over the money. I would put some away for my family and start an artist scholarship at the elementary school I have been teaching art at for the past 20 years.
