I had the good fortune of meeting recycled paper sculptor Miriam Ladron de Guevara in a small mountain village in Oaxaca Provence. She generously taught me her process and I have continued to create sculptures since returning home. Although I previously only worked in 2-D media, specifically oil painting and printmaking, I have fallen in love with sculpture. I love the physicality of the process, cutting and bending wire , engineering viable structures, feeling the paper pulp in my hands as I make and apply it, and pouring cement bases. I am also having fun using mostly recycled materials and found objects in my work.
