Like a basketball player that pushes her rear toward the goal and then turns and shoots, I tend to back into things. As part of my lived experience and creative practice, I experiment with my spiritual and moral convictions. The process is documented; bringing artifacts back into the studio to turn them over and over. I chew on the inconclusive subtexts of life: complexities of “altruistic” efforts, domestic roles, rural/urban hybrids, and issues related to spiritual praxis. The physical evidence of this meditation and mediation is the material of my work.

My artwork ranges from intimate, personal works to inclusive, collaborative social practice. As each piece unfolds, I invite others into the process, creation and continuation of the work.

My granddad used to say, “I’m not a big shot, I’m a little shot that keeps shooting.” As for my creative practice, it is one that perseveres in hope of cultivating a humanizing “middle-art” – neither exceptionally spectatorial nor naive.
