Artist Statement

I'm a mixed media artist which means anything, ANYTHING at all, shapes my work. Starting with the organic flow of paint, gradually imbedding textures of fiber and imagination, results in works of fantasy that take viewers thoughts on a personal ride. Originally a fiber artist turned mixed media artist, I find the use of texture emphasizes and deepens the work created. Touch and feel the texture in my works! Hands on for sure! As a former mental health professional, I create works that address our psychological processes: grief, pain, happiness, excitement, wonder, growth and virtually and emotion imaginable. See the vibrant colors flowing through my work? My thoughts are bright with movement and deflection, look away for a moment and another thought lights up. Art is a forever changing fluid process. Look closely and you will perhaps see a bit of yourself.
