ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I enjoy the variety of people and projects I am involved with as a scenic artist. Whether painting a barn, bathroom or bar, achieving the mood that the director or set designer envisions provides an opportunity to use my skills and the materials in an interesting way. When I am not scene painting, I work primarily in acrylic and found objects to recycle interesting bits I gather in my travels.
