Recent work

The possibilities of mixed media, and how those materials can inform the finished work, has always intrigued me. Current work includes a series of clay figurative pieces that are then transformed by the addition of encaustic wax, powdered pigments, wood, metal and found materials.

Ghost Totems

2016 - 2019

The belief that we can speak to those who have gone before is as universal as it is necessary. Inspired by traditional Congo shamans' masks, these totems serve as the conduit to communicate with our ancestors, our lost families, even our future or past selves.
