My earliest memories of creating things are of my father teaching me to fold and cut six pointed snowflakes when I was six years old. I have been drawing, painting, and forming things ever since.
All of my 3-D creations, as far back as I can remember, have been organic forms To create beautiful forms was all that was necessary to me until recently. Around 2001 all of the forms were still organic, but they had developed autobiographical messages about who I was, how I felt, and where I wanted to go in life. After a few years it became important to me to make comments on waste and recycling. Now I work mostly in papier-mache and my materials come from my mail box or other sources of previously used materials.
The picture of me with Windows was taken during the reception for Minding the Gap at Art Saint Louis.
