"In all things I try to recognize the unlovely as the lovely disguised. As an artist, I seek to make something from what seems to be nothing- a discarded door or window, old shelving, a used metro ticket, broken glass, mirror or reflector lights…- the list is endless. During my time in Paris, France I began my journey with found art simply because I needed things to hang on my walls. My first project was half of a broken sign that I completed, painting the other half on a piece of discarded hardybacker. I have since begun to see the world through different eyes. The seemingly useless becomes useful; discarded items breathe a new life. What I have learned and love about creating is the inability to make a mistake. If I am willing to wait for the inspiration or the new idea every decision becomes something useful, positive, beautiful."
