I have lived on a farm, raised food and animals. I have lived in towns and large cities. I have lived on an island in Casco Bay Maine. In all places my curiosity has compelled me to collect and interpret what I find in both the natural surroundings and popular culture. When I enter the private world of my studio these collections, whether it be beach detritus or toy monkeys, inspire me to delve into the curious, to indulge in wonder, and to make art.
“To say, ‘I wonder’ is to say ‘I question; I ask.’ The mind seeks. Sometimes it finds answers, sometimes it does not. We need wonder in order to keep moving and growing—to stay alive to the world. It gives us meaning and, in fact, makes us human.”
