Artist Statement

This body of work is an expression of mood, a series of vignettes that evoke atmosphere and endlessness. The work is layered with printed paper and photocopy collage, image transfer, and mark making. I’m able to work on both sides of the vellum sheets, enhancing depth and playing with chance, an important part of my process. My work has been described as "some otherworldly mash-up of quilts and paintings and sculpture and something else altogether" and that "something else" is what I aim to discover through my practice. The play of materials and process is what most excites me. This work can be hung unframed.

Bio

I first exhibited work in the San Francisco Bay Area as part of the nascent fiber arts movement. Following careers in the not-for-profit sector and landscape architecture, I now focus on my art practice from my studio in Germantown, New York. My current focus is on mixed media collages on paper and vellum. My award-winning work has been included in more than 70 exhibits, most recently at The Lockwood Gallery, Kingston, and as featured artist at Window on Hudson, Hudson, New York. My collage, “New Alphabet,” was featured on the 2020 issue of the French literature journal, l’esprit createur. My studio was selected as one of the artist studio participants for Upstate Art Weekend’s 2022 season.
