I’ve been making art of one kind or another most of my life with no formal training but have benefited from having a very creative family. After my retirement five years ago, my primary focus became mixed media collage using a variety of media including acrylic paint and inks, vintage papers and book pages, stencils and stamps. I have also experimented with image transfers as well as mark making which adds texture and depth to my work.

My art is a cathartic outlet and meditative process for expressing my own feelings of anger, JOY, hope, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and grief. As I work through layering paint and paper the pieces evolve slowly as does my peace. I encourage my audience to be open to what feelings my art may evoke in them.
