  about

 

The aesthetics of every object should be considered important and every object important enough to be beautiful. Design and art are all around us. From the chair you sit in as you read this page to the computer screen that displays it, someone thought of the way it should look, feel and function. As an artist, my job is to see the potential in everything and to bring it out full circle; making the plainest object amazing. I must say, it is a job that I love. I love finding new ways of seeing an object. I love showing others these new ways, opening their eyes to possibilities not yet imagined.
