I grew up in rural Vermont and moved to upstate New York after College. I have always been fascinated by human nature’s ability to bounce back and rebuild when tragic events happen. After 9/11, I made a decision to make a full commitment to being an artist and a practitioner of voluntary simplicity. My artwork is about taking something broken (in this piece, a broken violin) and recycling/re-creating it into something entirely new. A soul’s ability to reach deeply towards faith and hope when everything seems to be falling apart around us is what has inspired me.
