"I believe that as human beings we are creators and we each have our own, different, forms of expression. Like a puffer fish imprints its elaborate pattern on the sea ground we all have our own patterns that we naturally bring about through our lives. It’s a loss if we don’t explore our forms of expression and release them in the world to be enjoyed!

I believe in the permission to touch. I treat my work as an invitation to play. With materials as well as thoughts, freely. I’d like to extend the invitation to everybody through my own work, it being a mixed bag of prototypes, experiments and accepted, delightful imperfections."
