Invasive Species
2020
Picture frame, wooden box, silver vase, fabric, artificial fruit, silk flowers, crochet doily, enamel vase,
37" x 35" x 20”

Invasive Species was inspired by yard work. The tendrils of wisteria pop up all over the yard and choke out shrubs and other plants.


I had a nickel silver vase from a family friend to contain my floral arrangement which spills out and creeps around the frame. The vignette was completed with small antique items precariously perched on the wooden shelf. Much like all of life, everything is sliding into the abyss.

Banquet Still Life with Lobsters
2018
Picture frame, wooden box, fabric, plastic and fimo fruit and seafood, oil paint

Facsimile of the painting of Dutch artist Abraham Van Beyeren.

This work was from a project where I created three-dimensional works from two-dimensional paintings. Banquet Still Life is copied from the painting of Dutch artist Abraham Van Beijeren. This was extremely laborious work requiring several months of work.

I attempted to recreate the objects in the painting, fabricating rare or antique vases and vials from found objects and clay.
