Statement  

“I am an interdisciplinary artist.  Trained as a designer, the language of line, shape and dimension inform my work.

As a fine artist, visual spontaneity and narrative are very important to me. Most of my imagery is influenced by the unseen world around me, dream imagery, and natural as well as architectural forms. I decided early on, that I did not want my art to be a noun. I like to create visual metaphors and maybe even a dangling participle or two! I work with a variety of materials, including water media, torn paper collage, and found object assemblages from recycled treasures. 

A lifetime resident of the Pacific Northwest, I savor the mystical beauty of "the wildlands" as well as the eclectic and slightly offbeat culture of Seattle. I think this explains the range of reflection and quirkiness found in my work.
