About the Exhibition

I have always loved abandoned places. I began sculpting miniatures for my daughter to play with in a dollhouse. Building my first dollhouse set me on a creative path I didn’t know I had. I started creating mixed media canvases and assemblage pieces that incorporated miniatures and abandoned places. I have explored numerous artistic techniques and styles throughout this new journey. I began to use all of these techniques to build pieces that I love. The smaller and more realistic the details I can put into my art, the better. I want to create pieces that make people want to stop and study them, finding something new and intriguing the longer they look.
