Artist Statement

My work as an artist spans several fields and I continue to integrate those into regular artistic inquiries and productions.  I am a maker at heart and have developed professionally as an educator, writer, and sociological observer using video and photography.  I bring forth images from my subconscious, both abstract and figurative in my paintings, drawings, and textile sculptures. I am  drawn to bird and bird-like images to represent the duality and connections between heaven and earth, strength and vulnerability, and their ancient dinosauric lineage combined with short life spans marked by fleeting quick gestures and rhythms.
