My series of shoe sculptures I use the ancient weaving technique called knotless netting. This hand weaving precedes crochet and was originally used to make clothing. The process is laborious and it involves passing the full length of the wire through each loop. It allows me to meditate and absorb the thought process of each piece. My sculptural art is not only contemporary but expands of boundaries of this ancient technique.
Diphylleia Grayi is one of the rarest species. When rain on the petals become translucent.
I have a series that speaks to the importance of flowers and pollinators that provide for the existence of life. I use damaged and discarded vinyl records along with repurposed communications wire. These materials can take thousands of years to decompose in a landfill. Using unconventional materials requires the creation of new techniques. I enjoy this challenge and find it rewarding when the underlying message is realized through my art. I’m committed to creating art that has a lasting impression, expands the boundaries of creativity and simply brings joy.

Illumination explores the moment where complexity gives way to clarity. Intersecting lines and shifting color suggest movement, growth, and quiet awakening.

Fragmented Techniques – My image of the Brooklyn Bridge was placed on the foam core board then I used an exacto knife to cut the image into pieces. It was then assembled like an accordion form. I had knotted the aluminum wire in the fisherman’s net style. I then used hex nuts and bolts to attach the netting to the form. The shadow of the netting resembles the bridge’s wire structure.

Dream On inhabits the space between rest and awakening. Soft movement and layered light evoke the slow unfolding of thought and feeling.
Subtle threads of connection drift through layers of color and quiet light. This painting speaks of a love that forms slowly, soulfully woven not with urgency, but with care, intention, and grace. A meditation on feminine strength, softness, and the enduring weave of the heart.

One of the most incredible sunsets I have ever witnessed. This spectacular scene seemed to go on for hours as the colors in the sky continued to burn brighter and longer than I have ever seen.
A rainbow of colors as the sun begins to set behind the Golden Gate Bridge.
Art enables us to find ourselves
and lose ourselves at the same time.
