" I like to think of my works as disorderly order; where I try to bring order to chaotic imagery from the things in my life which interests me the most.  
 
I am particularly attracted to inanimate objects that are able to be reduced to line and shape then recreated as curious, evocative abstract forms giving the viewer with a starting point from which to hang associations and stimulate their imagination.  "
