About the Artist: I call myself a “Master of Imperfection” eternally inspired by the uniqueness of error and what we alter and create as a result. My creations deliver underlying messages of rebirth, recovery and reclamation through an array of salvaged, recycled and ordinary materials that I employ in my work . My intrigue with the “beauty of imperfection” has led me, to work on behalf of at-risk populations locally and nationally; fostering the belief that integrating failures, accepting limitations and embracing differences is the means to living in harmony with the real world and the one we have the power to create
