Artist Statement:
My passion is painting and
collage. Layering texture and
color in an intuitive manner,
I attempt to weave a visual
history. I enjoy working in a
series as it allows me to
communicate my concept in
various ways. My goal is to
provide a mysterious and
intriguing surface, engaging
the viewer.
My first love is painting in
the abstract. I believe this
stems from our inherent need
for self-expression. Painting
in color and shape allow for
exploration of a wide range of
designs and compositions.
I find words especially
appealing and find much of my
work inspired by books and
poetry. Currently, I am
exploring the subject of a
Woman’s Worth based on
Marianne Williamson’s book of
the same name.

Honorable Mention
"Ritual transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Rituals are created for their symbolic or emotional values.
Symbols often play an important part in the role of ritual.
Sacred Icons, the exhibiton, is an opportunity for the artist to share their personal ideology and to inspire others to create work that rises above the mundane and ordinary."
