Artist Statement
I am an interdisciplinary artist. Trained as a designer, the language of line, shape, and dimension inform my work. As a fine artist, visual spontaneity and narrative are very important to me. I decided early on that I did not want my art to be a noun. I like to create visual metaphor and maybe even a dangling participle or two! I work with a variety of materials, including water media, torn paper collage, and found object assemblages from recycled treasures. A lifetime resident of the Pacific Northwest, I savor the mystical beauty of the “wild lands” as well as the once eclectic and slightly off-beat culture of Seattle. I think this explains the range of reflection and quirkiness found in my figurative work
