oil on garments mounted to board 20 x 16 x 2" I create canvases of deconstructed garments that I enrich with paint application. My works regard the dressing table in metaphor reflecting qualities of the feminine, aspects of womanhood, and identity. This piece is from a series of vignettes about the depth of emotions a female may experience reflecting in the mirror; thoughts she may have about life. Addressing the vanity as a place where one creates one-self; a study of women’s practices acts as an investigation into self and personality. Often appearing as stage-sets, vanities become theatrical platforms to speak to the evolution of femininity and the way we tear ourselves to live within what is socially accepted as feminine.

Photography 9 x 12 in. I took this photo of a dilapidated old barn next to an almond orchard on a ranch south of Chico. I was fascinated by all the clutter and if it had been safe, would have explored inside. My photo has been described as "an image that pays tribute to what remains of the past and a nostalgia for a world that no longer exists."

I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. I contact printed the image using the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the image.

photography 7 x 5" In my art work, I capture the simple beauty in everyday life, the commonplace or ordinary scenes in the natural and built environment. These images offer us rare moments of solitude, time to slow down and observe the world around us, and to enjoy quiet beauty and serenity. A photograph captures a portion of this beauty and tranquility, offering viewers quiet moments of reflection. I use water and light as beautiful threads that draw the eye in, providing an opportunity to examine nature and the built environment. The quality of light is of paramount importance, defining the textures and forms in nature, and patterns of light and shadow. A strong sense of design is also important in these images. I use the platinum/palladium printing process to capture a softer, painterly effect, evoking late 19th century idyllic landscapes and lending a poetic quality to the images. The platinum/ palladium process, a time-honored process, also renders a rich tonal scale and permanence to the images. It is a time-intensive, hand-made process—from coating the paper with varying mixtures of the platinum/palladium solution to exposing the negatives to the sun.

acrylic 48 x 60 x 1.5" Nature, for me, is a constant source of inspiration. This pink jungle has many paths to travel. Playfully we encounter many different animals throughout this landscape, even a dog with green dancing shoes! Being in nature reminds me of the paradox of our own complexity and our own smallness. Our feeling both small and vast in the natural world leads to stillness. In the stillness, we become aware of our inner light. This is the light of our true nature and our sacred heart. May all beings cultivate joy along this path to true enlightenment.

acrylic & pastel on wood 48 x 48 x 2" In summer 2022, I was invited to my neighbor’s house at midnight to watch the blooming of their Queen of the Night flower (also known the Dutchman’s pipe cactus). It blooms only once a year in the darkness of the night and withers in the morning. It was such a profound lesson to me that nature allows such magnificence to occur in darkness. Applying this lesson to my own life, I was encouraged in my personal health challenges. Even in the hardships and darkness, I should continue fighting because beauty flourishes even in the most adverse of circumstances.
