Research and Creative Interests

My work incorporates, and is prompted by, found elements. These provide a collective vocabulary of form, gleaned from material culture, that fuels meditations on consumption, temporality, language, and nature. Such influences as cartoons, folk art, surrealism, and minimalism are evident in the work’s straightforward use of materials, simplicity of form, anthropomorphism, and sense of humor.

Teaching Philosophy

I try to ensure that my students learn to:

  1. Make formally cohesive, well crafted, innovative pictures/objects
  2. Look at and discuss work (their own and others') critically and objectively
  3. Surpass themselves
