I like to capture the eclectic and fanciful nature of mundane objects that fill our lives, and revitalize them into precious wearable objects.

In my work I construct new environments both on and off the body to change ones perception, placing our faithful domestic objects somewhere unexpected.

 

I heart all things tiny, teeny and ridiculous.. large and overstated.. anything out of scale, out of whack....

 

I enjoy making soft and hard wearable art.. from felt to metal.. drawing and etching.. lost wax casting is a favorite of mine..
