Artist Statement:
I work in three different
series. The “Dolls and
Fairytales” series uses
fairytales and children’s
playthings as imagery to
explore gender roles, fears,
vulnerability, alienation, and
irrational expectations. Often
the imagery is humorous. These
visual metaphors are not clear
narratives, leaving room for
the viewer’s interpretation.
In the “Rhythm” series I
experiment with different
design approaches while
exploring repetitive daily
activities. The “Everyday
Narratives” series celebrates
the magic of the everyday and
those elusive moments that
seem charged or symbolically
significant.
My mediums of choice are
acrylic, watercolor, color
pencil, and soft pastel. I
occasionally explore
printmaking and ceramics.
