Art-making for me is a means of exploring, understanding, and collaborating with the seen, the unseen, the known, the unknown. As a multisensory artist—meaning my clair senses are active and consciously used—I respond to personally meaningful experiences that can be detected either with the five physical senses and/or those beyond, and allow the process of creating to become a revelatory and alchemical act. On one level the products of those artistic explorations are rooted deeply in the physical, natural world. Landscapes, scenes from nature, and current science and world events are the stage for much of my work, with set design that ranges from pure abstraction to highly stylized naturalism. But the narratives playing out have layers, and each willing person enters this world—either passively as a member of the audience, or as a character in their own play—based on highly individualized entry points. Each series is its own realm. Each work its own portal. Each encounter with that work a new experience.
