Artist Statement
I recently realized that my biggest artistic influence was the annual ‘Whitman’s Sampler’ boxes that my grandmother procured for Christmas; the kind where each chocolate is a different shape and style and there is a key on the inside of the box to tell you what’s what. Of course there are other things that have influenced me, but I think that might be the earliest and strongest.
