Artist Statement

I take my life experiences as a dancer, choreographer and director melding them together in my art, constantly looking at the world with an openness to see different perspectives with focus and discipline. Each piece of me creates an essential element in my work. The dancer explores the movement, flow, and paths that your eyes follow as they dance around the work. The choreographer uses the line, spatial relationships between the parts and the play of color to create an image for the audience. The director creates the structure and controls the chaos. Art has always been a way to communicate with an open mind and willingness to express my vision intuitively and from my soul; sometimes serious other times with humor.
