Artist's Statement: The small differences in life that make each day unique are what I work towards conveying with each piece I create. While at the same time infusing these objects with a sense of attitude and self-expression that illustrates these small differences. Furthermore, I find inspiration for these qualities in nature, architecture and people. Then I emphasize these inspirations by creating a connection between the viewer and his or her own aesthetics. These small qualities therefore become an essential part of my conceptual and aesthetical expansion.
