My practice has its roots in expressive art making, in speaking with and through images, and the spontaneous creation of pictures, words and sounds. The urge to create is universal and cyclical. The creative cycle connects moments throughout the day as we make, pause, rest, and make again. The cycle links our waking moments with our sleeping ones through dream work. The creative cycle provides a connection to those around us when we share our work, and speak of it, when our work responds to other work. The cycle must allow for seasonal variations so we do not burn out or wear out.
