Statement

As an artist, I am interested in the evolving transformations of living things as time moves everything forward; I strive to capture the moments of growth and decline that are so fleeting in nature.

My work is about the transformation of living forms. In the past, my work focused on the preadolescent and adolescent growth of my own children. The time that one grows from childhood to adulthood is fascinating because it is a point of tremendous change for both the body and the mind.

Presently, I am investigating the endangered and extinct species of the Susquehanna River area. My aim is to alert the public to the shapes we have lost and are losing. The thread that ties my works together is what is gained and lost as time progresses.
