STATEMENT
A storyteller at heart, I capture moments in time, ideas, and dreams with found material, paint, photographs, or clay. Mixed media allows the opportunity to capture the delicacy, strength, and fluidity of the human experience. What environments and experiences bring us relief and joy? What holds us back? How do we break through and thrive? By layering a variety of imagery and material together, I intentionally invite a wider audience into the artwork. As an artist, parent, and educator, I believe making and viewing art is for all - a welcome venue for inner reflection, conversation, and on occasion - action.
