Please talk a little bit about your artistic practice. What does your creative process look like? Where do you create your artwork? How long does one piece take to create from start to finish?
I work out of my studio as well as in workshops. Pieces vary from 1 sitting, several hours long, to being developed over time. I like my work to have a fresh quality that reveals process, so I try not to spend multiple sessions on 1 piece as that lends to finessing. Stepping back and evaluating is also an important part of creating.
