Artist's Statement MyLost Cat (2015), Cape Cod Museum of Art, Cape Cod, MA work is a response to the surrounding landscape. From the beginning, I’ve been influenced, both knowingly and unknowingly, by its designs, color, and lines. What drives the DUSK: Artist's Run Miami (2015), Ocean Terrace Hotel, Miami, FL work is my desire to create a sense of tension and space. As with a lingering memory, I am constantly reworking and reinterpreting what I see. A sense of history is always present.
