My mixed-media artwork is filled with bright colors, mixed-media layers and texture. I hope to invite viewers into a tapestry of visual and tactile experiences.
The language of flowers is an endless source of inspiration in my work. Even when my work is nonobjective and abstract, I always see flowers. Matisse once said, “There are always flowers for those who wish to see them.”

Inside/Out has been a constant theme in my artwork, and I've always explored making the unseen visible.  When my work was primarily photography, I didn't like the surface of colored photo paper, and was always looking for other ways to print my images on beautiful paper. I started placing semi-transparent paper over my photos and adding other imagery with pastels. Then I traded in my camera and started painting. For about fifteen years, I painted countless nonrepresentational and abstract canvases. There is so much that can expressed through color and movement. I invested in a camera a few years ago, and I've been photographing and painting flowers ever since.
