Growing up in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, the found treasures of my childhood were animal skulls and bones, insect carcasses, snake skins, and birds’ nests.
Growing up in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, the found treasures of my childhood were animal skulls and bones, insect carcasses, snake skins, and birds’ nests. I was fascinated by the fact that all living creatures are valued and categorized based on their exteriors, despite almost identical interior frames. What purpose does this superficial judgement serve in society? As a painter, mixed media, and collage artist, those early treasure collections continue to inspire me, and are never far from my mind as I explore themes of life, death, race, gender, and class.
