Shadowboxes

Humans loose things……and then nature and the ocean serve them up on the beach for me and other collectors to get excited about! Shells, sea glass and driftwood are always there. But if one looks or sees in a slightly different way, then other amazing treasures (or garbage) present themselves for viewing or picking up. There are also objects you may have never noticed……..paper money found in seaweed, tiny sand dollars, amazing complex opercula and red lobster pins washed out to sea in ’38 that come back in on many tides.

I try to live and work from a place of curiosity and awe. (Doesn’t always happen!) My collections and assemblages provide space for endless interpretations. They are made mostly from found objects from the Westport beaches. My drawings (coming next year) are dream scapes……and my pottery is from another lifetime, but still a part of my history.
