Artist Statement:
All of my art is inspired
either from music that I hear
or images that pop into my
head unannounced. Sometimes
the image is there when I
awake from a dream, sometimes
it just appears. Often it is
un-formed but the aura of the
image is playing in my head -
popping in and out like a game
of hide and seek. When the
image is illusive I'll often
go and find images online that
make up the form of what I
need to create. I'm not above
finding a nice piece of
unlicensed clip art and using
it as the basic form of the
piece. In that way I can hold
the image long enough to
produce a piece.
The dolls often have no
pre-formed image in my mind.
Rather, they are beings who
develop in my hands. Gnomes,
Tooth Fairies, Dream Dolls and
Personal Empowerment Dolls all
begin as one of three basic
doll forms I'm currently
using. The persona they
develop is a mystery - even to
me - until it's finished. Then
I realize what I've created,
or at least brought forward
into the tangible realm.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
music. I realize most people have a favorite artist who inspired them, but for me it's listening to music. I see the music as images in my head and then want to create that. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
My grandmother was and taught me. My mother was a textile artist. Then after my daughter was born I found myself seeing the images in my head again that had long been squished out by other things - work related things. Suddenly the images had room again and I needed to create them in the tangible realm. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in a small town on a bay. The water and the mountains surround us.
I worked in fundraising for a million years and then quit to have my daughter.
Although I have very little formal art training, I spend my time dreaming up new things to create.
