When first encountering my art I want my viewers to see an animal in motion such as horses galloping out from a gallery wall, or dolphins swimming above, or polar bear family diving for fish. I want to share the imagination of what it might feel like to gallop like a horse and feel the wind going through my mane, or to swim like a dolphin and feel the water and sunlight against my fins.
When the viewers get up close to my sculpture, it becomes apparent that these animals are made of plastic kitchen items and other household objects. You might even have the same identical spoon or spatula in your kitchen drawer. Upon further inspection viewers may notice that many of the objects are stained or bent, because these are all second hand items bought from thrift stores and collected from friends and family.
I call my style “3D Impressionism”. I use plastic objects like brush strokes in a painting by Van Gogh. The plastic items are my collaborators, and they inform the aesthetic decisions I make as well as educate me about environmental issues.

When I look at the horses, I can 'feel' the wind sweeping by. Brilliant work!
I love these!!! The Dolphins and the whale look like blown glass! I never would've guessed that my plastic fork could be so beautiful!
I have campaigned against litter waste and for recycling all my life - respect using the materials like this love it
wow, cool. thanks for posting this. inside, when I see people using plastic or common junk we toss out, I secretly feel jealous and excited equally inspired to do something knowing anything is possible to make out of this old nasty junk.
I have to wonder how she gets these amazing art works to stay together???
are you wearing lung protection when you work? if not, you can count on lung disease in a few short years.
Beautiful sculptures. However, not forgetting the underlying message that articles used to make them hurt these creatures in real life.
The creativity of turning the everyday in to the extraordinary... I'm blown away I love your mind
I believe I may have seen two or more of your beautiful art on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in CA. The whale and the sea gull. GORGEOUS ♡
agreed! I would love to buy one of these. They are gorgeous!
