The artist states:

My art emerges from my imagination, from my life experiences, my memories, my children, my husband, music, other art.....just about everything. I am also a student, currently working on a graduate degree in psychology. I will probably always be a student on some level and I will never consider my arts education to be complete. Learning something new each day is the fuel that operates my life.

A recycling and environmental enthusiast, I like to I find ways to re-purpose discards that might otherwise end up in our landfills. This challenge fits perfectly with my penchant for experimenting with different media and trying new techniques. I tend to allow the materials dictate the final piece. I have found that Mosaic is a perfect vehicle for recycling. I still have a lot to learn about the medium, but I gain something with each new piece that I create.

In addition to my mixed media work, I shoot and edit digital videos and am a digital photography enthusiast. I paint, write performance art and do some sculptural work. I like to cast different resins and materials to create 3D work and to think outside the box to come up with new ways to use them. I create spiritual and meditation boxes, alters, shrines and other work all based on the fundamental concept of the connectedness of humans to our environment and to one another. This is a reoccurring theme in my work.
