In pursuing new ideas, my job asks me to blend sensory awareness and intellectual curiosity. As an artist and problem solver, I embrace paradox. I cherish how art can enhance clarity, vision and understanding of our subjectivity...can uncover how love and loss infiltrate our bodies...can take us deep within to personal healing and daily health.
