Art has been a stabilizing force in my life. It has brought me comfort and gives my emotions color and form. I am inspired by daily life and how global issues impact each of us. I enjoy creating art that elicits conversation and creates a pathway to acceptance and understanding. Many pieces of my art have written messages on them, embedded in them, or hidden under the numerous layers. As a mixed media artist, I use hand-carved stamps, stencils, texture, and mark-making tools in my artwork. I use a wide assortment of acrylics, inks, watercolor, charcoal, graphite, pastels, and other mediums to create my paintings.

My substrates consist of stretched canvas, fabric, rolled canvas, cradle, and watercolor paper.
