Artist Statement
I work in metal, glass, and clay creating abstract botanical and insect-inspired sculpture and wearable art. I create small-scale jewelry work only centimeters wide to small paper, plastic, and clay works measuring several inches, up to larger scale free-standing aluminum sculptures measuring several feet in size. I take cues from the underlying structures of plants and insects to create my abstracted works and often look to native central Texas plants for inspiration as the basis for my sculptures.
