Making art has always been a source of transcendence for me.  I believe that art has a profound healing influence on both the artist and the viewer.  Through the depiction of beauty, truth, and recognition of the human condition, our spirits are uplifted and connected on a deeper level.  

In my work, I portray figurative images, symbolic beings that represent my inner experience and life process.  More often than not, I am working intuitively, letting the images take shape as I go, thus, each piece is unique, connected by the thread of my spirit and surroundings.  I also use imagery from nature, which is a continual source of inspiration and healing energy. As an artist, it is my hope to provide a common visual language that is both provocative and soothing to those who resonate with my work.

Most of my pieces are built up on panels or canvas using multiple layers that may include paint, charcoal, antique and decorative papers, thread, fabric, gold leaf, wax, pencil, and crayon.
