ARTIST STATEMENT
Inspired by experiences, objects, and places, I create mixed media paintings and sculptures that explore family life. A storyteller at heart, I capture moments in time, ideas, and dreams with found material, paint, photographs, or clay. 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.
