In this era of impersonal technological prowess, and life lived at a hectic pace, I relish the hands-on sensation of working in traditional artistic mediums. I love bright and vibrant color, with a composition full of movement and flowing lines.
As a self-taught artist, I approach art making as a lifestyle. I enjoy the variety of working in both large and small format, ranging from illustration, to public murals and studio work. The materials I use vary depending on the size and eventual placement of the piece. Although I tend to use acrylics most often, I enjoy exploring new art forms and methods, new means for expressing the narrative threads that inspire me.
While my art travels via public and private collections across the U.S., I remain in S.E. Seattle, where I live with my husband and two Dobermans.

I find beauty in the scrap pile, in the things we throw away, in the situations we observe, and the stories we remember. Reusing materials within a new context creates an inherent twist. Images from nature combine with everyday objects, and new stories emerge. This evokes a visceral or visual response with emotional and intellectual musings. Materials bring with them certain associations: texture, feel, expectation. Consequently, the materials needed for each piece become evident and I flow between many natural and man-made media.

Old objects, shaped by time, carry its imprint. Without necessarily understanding their meaning at first glance, the life within them speaks to us, leaving strong impressions. In a way, what I try to accomplish, is a stirring of memory that transport us to a place where the present verges on past. It is between these two worlds that the work of memory and creation takes place.
In many of the works we see today, the working of the materials contributes to the process of creation-dense mass, fissures, scrapings and so on- these speak to us of the natural wearing process of time.
My art is not about the reproduction of an object, but rather its discovery, its encounter. In other words, the form of the object is, more often than not, indecisive while still allowing us to connect it with a certain reality ... a memory of some place in time.
