Ever desperate for affirmation, I won an art prize in first grade and that was the beginning of 'making stuff.' Creating kept me semi-sane in high school and college. A sculptor student suggested I design wallpaper and I was grievously insulted. No doubt it would have been more lucrative! But he had a point. I love the strictures of graphic design and the precision of typography... [more]

My mixed media works emerges from play between the representational and the abstract, structure and impulse, dissonance and harmony. Combining painting and collage, I build environments where chaos gives way to order through pattern, color and theme. Bits and pieces of collage materials – a ticket, a snippet of a photo, a piece of a map, create touch points for possible narratives... [more]

I am a photographer and a sculptor. I create intimate impressions that mark and remember what history fails to tell us about the everyday lives of women – the daily efforts, the steady presence, the invisible toil, the love and the loss that we all experience. My objects and settings stand in perpetual tribute to this caregiving – women’s work – that persists through generations... [more]

Working with a multitude of materials affords me boundless room to experiment with techniques and processes. I draw, paint, sew, collage, hammer, burn, and wrap. My work begins with the act of collecting, both in the tangible sense and also in memory. My studio houses well loved fabrics, burnt ironing board covers, found and rusted metals, assorted tree fragments, vintage hand-written journals, photographs and reclaimed canvases... [more]
