I am a working artist in Chicago, IL. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. These three R words are the driving force behind my art creations. I enjoy and take advantage of many artistic mediums.

I work with soap, wood, glass, ceramics, paint, and textiles. The complex creation of everyday things such as a sweater or a built table is humbling and brings meaning to material goods. When value is assigned to goods we take better care of the items we posses and ultimately attempt to consume only what we need and not excessive amounts of plastic, or limited resources such as byproducts of petroleum oil. Working with my hands, and repurposing or recycling old materials can be seen in my furniture, paintings, and even jewelry.

I am also the currator of The Brick Gallery. Follow us on twitter https://twitter.com/#!/TheBrickGallery and all artists are welcome to come to open studio nights Mondays and occasionally Wednesday nights starting at 7pm.
