Mixed Media Visual Artist

Welcome
I create layered abstract artwork using a variety of materials including hand painted papers, ephemera, acrylic paint, wax pastel, oil pastel, graphite, and just about anything I can find to add to the mix! The process of making the work is intuitive and playful. I am glad you are here and I hope you will enjoy having a look around.

Finding Joy in the Process

I make artwork because it makes my days brighter and more interesting. Spending time with the color, the shape, and the texture of art elements leads me on adventures that I am honored to share with you. I often teach art workshops in collage, art journaling and exploring creativity. If you would like more information about upcoming classes and shows, or how to purchase my artwork, please join my mailing list so that I can keep in touch!

Not sure which orientation I like better,

Do you ever make something that just feels so different that you aren’t sure about it, but you kind of like it too? That’s what these are all about.

I felt compelled to make summertime work, and thought it was time to try my fluorescent
