"I work in mixed media using collage and acrylic. I love bold colors, geometric shapes and text which come alive with whimsy on wood panels and paper. I am happiest when I am drawing outside the lines on the canvas and in life."
Each day as I step into my studio, I enter a playground – a place for taking risks, letting go of attachments, and experimenting with new ideas. The materials are guiding me. A childhood letter to the tooth fairy, a One Way road sign, or a billboard scrap foraged in Mexico City, all make their way into the work and are a reflection of my interior life. My spirit laughs out loud at the freedom of breaking the rules and drawing outside the lines. I’m not sure who is in charge – my art or me. The process is alchemical, magical, free and joyful. The maverick/rebel is encouraged while the perfectionist is given a time-out. The result is a pure reflection of my heart and soul. My work was chosen for the DeYoung Open at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco, CA and the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA. My artwork is available through my studio in Sausalito, CA, and through the following galleries: Slate Contemporary in Oakland, CA, Portland Art Gallery in Portland, Maine and Conrad West Gallery in Las Vegas.IMPACT

Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"My mixed media art process involves layering paint with collage papers and then using water and a sander to distress the work which creates a rich texture and depth. Collage elements such as fabric, billboard posters, & found objects weave together to tell a story."
