I am an installation artist, painter, and sculptor. Often austere and contemplative, mixed media works are made from found objects, antique woods and organic materials such as grasses, bamboo, rock, red-twig willow. By juxtaposing found objects and raw materials, often with hand-executed images, installations expose feelings of isolation, and solitude. Contextually, my work focuses on women’s and environmental concerns.

Installation art requires fluency in a wide range of mediums and techniques. My work is created individually for each gallery or exhibition becoming Site-specific Installation. I thrive on the challenge of the unknown that is presented to me in each location. I "feel" the space and attempt to create a cohesive work of art that combines all the aspects of the environment including its history, lighting, mood, and location with my own artistic and personal interests.
