Welcome to Boxworkstudio!
Artist’s statement:
I have been exploring “Found Art” since 2007. Of all the various forms of artistic expression I have attempted throughout my life, I find this to be the most freeing and satisfying.
I have always felt the need to tell a story in my creative process. The objects themselves indicate to me what the narrative will be.
It is so exciting to take disparate objects like a child’s toy, a scrap of wood, or an old piece of jewelry, and experience that “ah-ha” moment when they transform into a vital element in a story of morality, beauty, spirituality, and more.
I may give the observer hints as to the stories that lie within through the titles of my work, but am happiest when people make their own connections for themselves. There is no “right or wrong” way to interpret these pieces.
I hope you will become engaged in the little worlds I have set before you. Have fun!!!

New Work on display at Circle Gallery, Annapolis February 4th - 15th, 2009
I am most grateful to the Maryland Federation of Art for giving artists the opportunity to display their work publicly. Again this year, the Circle Gallery on State Street in Annapolis was opened to artist members and I was happy to participate. On display were 11 of my pieces, many of them new. During the artists reception Saturday Feb 8th, it was suggested that I add some comments about each piece to help guide the viewer through the experience. Although I am hesitant to "pollute" the encounter with these constructions, I understand the need for clarification. I hope this will enhance people's enjoyment of my work.
