Artist Statement

As the definition of art expands, so does the notion of an artist’s studio space.  Whether it is due to economics, function, or ingenuity, artists have challenged and questioned the idea of a private and closed creative space.  In designing my studio, I wanted it to be in a space where I could engage in different environments to create work.  The back of my truck seemed like the most practical choice as it would offer both mobility and freedom from confined walls.  I made a work table that also functions as a display wall, a bench that also functions as a drawing horse and an assortment portable storage compartments.  All of these tools fit in the back of my truck, which allows me to travel anywhere and therefore it allows me to work anywhere.
