I feel deeply about the sacredness of all things. I believe there is no one way. Creating is a process, a meditation and relationship between silence and space.

IKEBANA SERIES
This series of work was based on three different elements: a collection of monoprint drawings, applying the centuries old technique and spiritual practice of Ikebana flower arranging, and a desire to put contrasting pieces together using the concept of space. In Ikebana the importance of space is not meant to be filled but to be created and preserved. The most important thing is not a specific "flower" or aspect but how the pieces work together.
