My art embraces a varied, colorful aesthetic influenced by intricate patterns, jigsaw puzzles, nature, dance, theater, and jazz. I love shiny surfaces and glitter, while also incorporating found items, evocative photos, and organic materials in multilayered assemblages. Most recently, I have transitioned from primarily drawing and mixed media collage to my new love, stained glass!
Over the past year, I have focused on a series of habitat works, using a variety of evocative materials and drawings to expose the lived realities behind beautiful calendar images. My work is archived in the galleries below. Each work has a story, detailed in the galleries and LA Art Notes. I welcome inquiries about originals and prints for sale, including a limited edition of collages printed on aluminum.
