As an artist, I focus on the hidden and
secret aspects of botanical and
zoological forms  involving sculpture,
photography and drawing/painting to
reinterpret and beautify a potentially
disturbing  subject.  In my compositions, I
often imagine a world transformed by
environmental changes and man's
interference with plants and animals.  
Through magnification and distortion, I
force the viewer to examine and
confront the ambiguous, disquieting
shapes which inhabit our future.
Ever since childhood, I have been
fascinated by the zoological and
geological specimens collected and
presented by museums in their cases and
collection jars.  The displays enabled me
to enter another world, where normally
unseen objects were brought into the
light of day.
