Purveyor of Handcrafted Novelty

I am a multi-media Maker, proficient in a number of disciplines.  Among these are literary, performance, sculptural, audio-visual, and wearable. The nature of my practice is such that, combinations of art forms amalgamate into multi-media installation, or simply, in a craft fair booth (Which, in my view, is also installation).   

I create with a generous measure of vulnerability.  I'm going ALL the way in!  That is what breathes life into the layers of my work.  EVERYTHING is conceptual, and expresses, a more sub-surface thing (occasionally discovered when a work is finished)!  I assert that few things are more satisfying than something awe-inspiring, born of that, right in my hand!  The Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts, and Massachusetts College of Art and Design, are where these attributes have been fostered.   In addition, I am of the most recent graduating class, of Boston Arts & Business Council’s, Creative Entrepreneur Fellows.  

The work stirring excitement at present is, the crafting of my colorful fine art leather rings, which are largely constructed of re-appreciated materials.   Equally as exciting is the crafting of my ALLOB collectibles, which go far beyond greeting cards, and are primarily one-of-a-kind collectible art pieces.

My ongoing focus, as with most Creatives, is to balance the joy of making, with the ability to thrive economically.
