I work in layers, technically, intellectually and spiritually to create images and sensations of movement, color, harmony and joy. Much of my work is inspired by the various materials I have collected, as well as by traditional materials in my studio. Combining things with a former life with new materials is a wonderful challenge. I have been very affected by Stanley Kunitz’s poem “ The Layers” and try to “Live in the layers, not on the litter.” And “I am not done with my changes”.

My creative process is intuitive – starting with materials and/or marks that I make – with no preconceived plan. I like putting things together – sometimes pieces that seem not to go together. My work encompasses a variety of mediums – oil, acrylic, water, prints, found papers and objects, image transfer and encaustic. In each artwork there may be one medium, two or many media combined in one piece. Inspiration comes from the inside – based on my personal distillation of the external world.
