Inspired by traditional decorative design and the organic patterns in nature, I hand cut up to 100 layers of paper to create sunken-relief windows into abstracted worlds. I firmly believe that bigger is not better. The meticulous technical challenges and the resulting delicacy of working small are too intriguing for me to ignore. Whether the palette is vibrant or subdued, it is also an integral part of the work. And while the intricate designs are what my art is saying, color is the tone of voice through which each piece speaks.
