                                                    SQUIRT  SERIES                                  CONTACT  

           In 2015 after years of making shaped paintings and wall-mounted installations, I bridged the gap between my interest in two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms and began making freestanding sculpture.
  In 2017 I learned to weld, significantly expanding my capacity to manipulate material.   
             Using the structural and fluid qualities of metal,  the Squirt series speaks to my interest in  energy, natural, and architectural  forms, seeking to establish an organic relationship between them  with colorful interventions in the landscape.
