I am inspired by beauty in all forms. As a fine artist, I enjoy combine and collage work using mixed media. I am inspired most by the works of Robert Rauschenberg, Kehinde Wiley, and Anslem Keifer, and the use of found items collected from lives other than my own.

My most recent exhibitions have featured work, largely in acrylic, that departs from my older work and utilizes more precisely selected ephemera and collage elements with wider spans of color and atmospheric texture. I enjoy incorporating birds—mostly common North American ones—to symbolize the subjects in my work. They often take the form of autobiographical figures, close friends, family, and the intangible mental and spiritual elements found along one’s personal journey.

I believe that my most recent three exhibitions indicate a deeper understanding of self and of the media I use. Each of the galleries below contains images, process photos, and more for each respective exhibition.

The archives section below showcases a fun variety of works in illustration, portraiture, sewing, and crafts from over the last 15 years.
