My art reaches beyond the daily world and invites mystery to emerge—that elusive part that can only be communicated by listening to imagination.

In painting, I work with image and symbols in mixed media, primarily acrylic, pastel, tempera, and crayon on high-quality paper. My work is a combination of figurative and abstract. My subjects are frequently women or groups of people, the focus being emotional and spiritual. Color is an important element of my art.

Nature speaks to me—the seasons of birth, growth, and death. New life returns, bringing continuity, forming a circle—a recurring image in my paintings. What begins as a seed idea evolves and is finally transformed into something new—a surprise.
