I was born in 1962, in Albuquerque, New Mexico to a mother of various artistic inclinations and a father who enjoyed a career as a “B” movie character actor/writer. I found my self growing up in the television and film industry, to which I inevitably fell into. Since 1980 I have worked as a costume supervisor on numerous commercials, films and television shows.
In 2000 a wonderful friendship with another artist lead me into clay, and the rabbit hole just seems to continue. I have since then had the great fortune to have other wonderful artists share and bestow me with some of their precious secrets, & knowledge. That is pretty much the extent of my” training”. I have always been interested in the face & figure as a subject. Anything that I made, or drew as a child had to do with faces. Figurative objects somehow hold a special magic for me. Although technically inanimate, they are typically narrative, & therefore take on their own life. I tend to bestow them with iconic honor & love to imagine little stories about their existence. They tell me secrets & teach me many things. My newest work is a combination of my passion for paint, color, texture & the delight I have found in working w/ clay, it also allows me to incorporate certain text and poetic ramblings that I’ve become attached to. My pieces will almost always hold slices of my subconscious and are a window into my personal sense of humor and an exposition of all that I must confess. |
