About

As a child of two biology major parents, I spent a great deal of time outdoors at parks and nature centers, while at home I was surrounded by a huge assortment of pets. Because of this, I have always found nature in general and animals in particular to be restorative and inspirational and this is reflected in most of my pieces.

My current work concentrates primarily on torn paper collage, linocut printmaking, oil painting, and 3D mixed media pieces. My primary working style, which has been a mainstay throughout my career, focuses on combining numerous small fragments into a larger whole.

Our own personal journeys often contain cycles of “death” and “rebirth.” I mirror this personal journey in my artwork by transforming everyday materials like plastic bags, magazines, packing materials, and electronics cables, giving them new life. Using discarded materials to create my animal and nature-themed art invites a deeper look into our relationship with nature and the waste created by our consumer culture.
