"My boxes begin with an attraction to found objects that I am personally connected to socially and culturally.  I let the objects work through me revealing a deep archetypal connection from my own personal history.

What intrigues me most is the beauty, form and memory in an object, not it’s function.  By looking closely at the colors, shapes, and textures, soul is revealed as though it had been hidden under well-oiled functioning.  I often start with just two elements, as the anticipation of a narrative is about to unfold.  What results is a visual tapestry of information creating a dialog that is universal.  I reside in Grand Rapids with my partner Richard Jeltes who is also an artist.  All the assemblages are a collaborative effort.  Without his help, my stories could not be told." - Jan Quinn
