My ideas come to me as I live day to day, this can happen while I’m traveling, inside my small studio or simply looking at an old sofa that changes daily.

I interchange my mediums constantly according to my mood. Sometimes I use words instead of images when I feel the need.

Lately, I have been moving into three dimensional assemblages. To be honest, these are still “paintings” to me. Here I use natural materials such as, drift wood, feathers, fabric, shells, and so on.

Likewise, when I’m walking my dog, I often find intriguing treasures on the sea shore that start to get my mind working and lead me into another world.
