I am an artist, a traveler, a writer and a teacher.
I engage in the process of visually exploring and describing my experiences as a woman living in an urban culture in the 21st century.  
The human figure and nature are central to my work.   I question what is familiar and find nuances buried in the layers of the everyday.
 
Text is an important component, and most every piece has a story or text beneath and through the work.  Building layers, sometimes placing familiar imagery in context of a new environment becomes a new language within the work.
Painting, drawing and taking photographs is a form of discovery for me.
