Résumé

Artist Statement

I enjoy making large platters that are from 16 to 24 inches in diameter.
They can be used as both functional objects and/or hung as decoration when not in use.
I consider the work as decorative objects intended to visually enhance their surroundings.
Lately I have been exploring color along with hand-made, self designed stencils.
It is exciting to see how the designs change from one phase to the next, drawing on the past, experimenting for the future.
