Her work often incorporates repurposed and unexpected materials such as wrappers, envelopes, postage stamps, and found papers, reflecting her love of experimentation and exploration.
Her artwork has been published in more than 25 national mixed media magazines, including Somerset Studio and Cloth Paper Scissors, and she has taught workshops throughout Kansas and beyond.
