I layer painted organic shapes in contrasting materials inspired by the forms and textures found in landscape and eroded natural objects, such as shells and rocks. With color, I give each piece a new narrative and realm of its own. My pieces are made up of fragments, and I like to think of each completed work as an object and a fragment itself, part of a larger whole. I hope to create a connection with the universal feeling of belonging and of being part of the same fabric.

My painted assemblages are several inches deep and sculptural, often having parts that extend beyond the edges of the board or canvas. The constructions may consist of found materials, wood, fabric, paper, thread, metal, beads, watercolor, acrylic, watercolor, crayon and marker.
