I've been an artist all of my life, as a child I loved drawing and coloring. I spent much of my time exploring nature and constructing with cardboard, mud, sticks or anything I had available. Nature is still an important influence in my daily life and in my art.
While in college I studied fine arts, metal work, jewelry design and construction, interior design, fiber and textiles. My appetite for learning has never stopped.
I owned my own gallery and working studio where I worked and taught classes. This included an arts therapy workshop for cancer survivors, patients and family members. Now I am fully committed to my art full time and exploring new techniques and materials and ways to combine them.
I'm a multi-medium abstract artist. I work in acrylics, textiles, fibers, papers, metal, found objects from nature and more. I've evolved a style that often incorporates all of these, singularly or mixed. My imagination is endless and I’m always eager to try new and different ways of expressing myself creatively.
My inspiration often comes from nature but also by happy accidents or experimentation. I consider myself an artistic explorer always eager to find new ways to express my creativity and unique view. The process is an integral part of the finished work.
Occasionally I will express myself about a social or political situation or injustice, then my art becomes my voice and allows me to present my view. I'm always open to new or unusual creative ideas.
My solo exhibit Women's Work - Still Not Done was a success! I had a good turn out and favorable comments and compliments. Politically on point and artistically interesting. some of the pieces from the show are in the portfolio.
