Abstraction concentrates in itself the essential qualities of anything more extensive or more general or of several things: essence.
Webster
Abstracting the body in sections of human narration, using shapes and layers of monochromatic colors, various papers, graphite, fibers, wires, glaze mixtures, paints, and photography. Mimicking the sinking of the skin's surface into a cellular illusion or disillusioned visual physiological state of fluid within an imagined biosystem, creating 3D installations.
My work often begins with a misstep—a spilled paint can, a dirty drop cloth, or the accidental intersection of lines from a fold. I embrace these spontaneous "happenings," allowing them to shape the figure, evoke an emotional response, or inspire a new direction. From there, I continue the journey to discover the final form of the piece.
My research is about; The visual context derived from philosophical systems, scientific theories,
and aesthetic judgments, abstracting from the ever-changing ebb and flow of being in the living world.
Research across various mediums enables me to "see" from multiple perspectives. My 2D work informs my 3D creations, and vice versa, with each medium shaping and enhancing the other. This process leads me to craft the perfect visual poem.

Casted Lost Foam Iron - The Lady
Painter, sculptor, inventor, and teacher
I have been an artist for over ten years—25 years, if you include my work as a decorative artist. I am driven by a deep desire to give visual expression to the layers of memories that lie beneath the surface, exploring the connection between mind and body. My passion is to communicate these profound experiences through my art.
