Artist Statement

Creating art has always been my passion.   Living in the Southwest, I am heavily influenced by the local color, continuous sunshine, and the abundance of very talented fellow artists. A lover of color, my paintings celebrate a "palette of all seasons."  The intuitive combination of my acrylics, inks, and various fibers add to the uniqueness of the artwork. Most intriguing to me is the expression of individuality, which is represented in my "spirit paintings."
My fiber work is sparked by the myriad of colors and textures found in (mostly manufactured) materials. I often try to use recycled materials for these creations.
