I am a found object artist. My mediums include Arte Povera, BoulevArte, EnvironMetal, Natural Fiber Handmade Paper and any other title I can think up to describe my pieces and their recycled origins.

One of the most overwhelming reactions to my work is that it always deals with dimension and texture. You must reach out and touch what is there. It calls you back again and again to look at the piece from a different angle, in a different light.

How do I explain what I do? Well, my day begins. I dress and walk the beach for an hour or more depending on the tides and what the sand and ocean offer me in the way of treasures.

A piece, an object will be found. Maybe days or weeks later a few more fragments of items. Then a background will wash up on the shore or poke out of a trashcan in an alley.

'Take me home', it cries. And I do. And then - as if by the magic of Tinkerbell's fairy dust - all the pieces whirl up and dance together until they land in position.

It's as simple and as complicated as that. It's the way my mind works - right and left brain in unison to make order out of chaos, to make art out of found objects.

My work can be found in collections throughout the country. Please visit my website for further information.
