MIXED MEDIA

“Between going and staying the day wavers, in love with its own transparency.

The circular afternoon is now a bay where the world in stillness rocks.

All is visible and all elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.

Paper, book, pencil, glass, rest in the shade of their names.

Time throbbing my temples repeats the same unchanging syllable of blood.

The light turns the indifferent wall into a ghostly theatre of reflections.

I find myself in the middle of an eye, watching myself in its blank stare.

The moment scatters. Motionless, I stay and go: I am a pause.” Octavio Paz

While metal sculpting is sublime, assemblage strikes another chord within me. It's the perfect medium to combine my boundless collection of found objects and global curios into singular sculptures that tell overlapping stories. Even disks from an abandoned tire factory or scrap wooden planks are perfect canvases for 2D works while collected antiques serve as structural backbones for unique 3D creations. Each object holds its own beauty and melody, and when the right composition emerges, the ensemble sings.

The greater St. Louis area is my home now—a place where falcons, wild turkeys, and vultures soar, deer roam freely, and marmots wreak havoc. My garage loft serves as an enraptured creative space, where I continue to paint and begin my series of Memoryscapes. A series that transforms found objects, antiques, stones, shells, and artifacts from long ago, into original pieces that explore the interconnectedness of all things—each distinct, yet never separate from the whole, much like you and me.

If you have a drawer or closet full of seemingly random keepsakes, CONTACT me. Don’t discard those broken or dust-riddled pieces; I can create an original Memoryscape in any size for you or design singular installation artworks for your clients.
