As a 2-time People’s Choice award-winning multi-media artist, I find working with different media leads to more thoughtful collages, paintings, and weavings. I feel my art leans towards the modern and abstract and hopefully invokes a bit of discussion and curiosity. I’m very passionate about sharing my multimedia art and encourage others to see that art needn’t be limited to traditional oil or acrylic – and the décor we hang on the walls can include wearable art like jewelry or clothing or things made from discarded items. I find using unconventional sources like second-hand materials, maps, magazines and interesting paper scraps and bits-and-bobs, make for the most interesting conversations.

My love for travel has exposed me to multiple countries, cultures, and art. I received formal training in various art media including photography from the University of Toledo and ceramics and stained glass from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.

After a 27-year government service career, I can now re-focus on the various forms of arts and crafts that have given me so much joy full-time. In 2025 I started working with a small hand weaving loom and other types of looms to explore textile art and weaving and continue to push boundaries when it comes to my collage and abstract paintings.
