The sides are painted white so that you have a fresh edge against your wall if you display San Joaquin "as is."

Almost puzzle-like, these lines and shapes define part of the delta region of the San Joaquin River east of San Francisco. The rich agricultural fields in this northern California region have actually sunk below the surrounding rivers over time. Where a dike has broken and flooded the field below, the land becomes a lake, used for recreational purposes by citizens in the region. It's a unique region, second only to the lower Mississippi in the extensive number of levees needed to hold back the water.

"Playing at the edges of our world waters."

I was born on the US East Coast and when I was very young my mother drew a flight path map of my father's business trip to Australia, by way of cities and islands. This birds-eye view of our world surely influenced my fascination with the meandering lines where water meets land across the globe. For the last fourteen years my work has been focused on our fragile world waters as news stories of specific water places and issues drive me to respond...The steep challenges and consequences are real. The balancing of poetry and politics feeds and challenges me and my work. I now live near the confluence of rivers at Kansas City, Missouri. In 2010 I left the corporate world in order to establish an art studio near the rivers and to pursue this art life which has led me to exhibit works from Brooklyn to Hawaii. My water-focused works across a wide variety of media can be found in museum, corporate and university collections, as well as private collections across the United States.
