This body of work is a combination of both small, clay sculptures, and two-dimensional mixed media panels. The surfaces are built up to a high relief texture, typically using both textured wall papers and a plaster-based compound that is painted with acrylics and compatible mediums. These panels serve as a backdrop, or scene for a hand sculpted ceramic figure or object that rests into a niche that is built in the panel. My interest in the human experience and a desire to keep a watchful eye on my own wandering mind is both the inspiration for my work itself and the pursuit of an artistic life. My works are a illustrated glimpse into the world between my ears, where I try to maintain a positive focus on a life that is constantly confounding and challenging me.
