About The Artist

Artist Statement

Change comes to all of us.

Whether wanting or not, planned or spontaneous, willingly or forced.

And the moments that follow are often the most terrifying, exhilarating, painful, beautiful and magnificently enlightening times in our lives.

Sometimes there is no control over our fall – we land where we land. Sometimes we have a choice in the path we take. Sometimes we are led. And other times we’re on a white-knuckle ride that’s alternating between exhilaration and fear.

But in every one of these situations there is a moment of pure vulnerability as we wait for the unknown to be revealed.

Multifaceted and layered with countless possibilities, I’ve been fascinated with the different ways to capture these moments.

Beginning with a photo shoot, I use one layer or I may stack multiple images together, one in front of one another. The result is 3-dimensional, ever-changing paintings.

Biography

I earned my MFA from the Academy of Art in San Francisco after 20 years in the corporate world and 10+ years owning her own marketing consulting business, helping Fortune 500 companies launch new products.

In early 2021 with the pressure of COVID in San Francisco mounting, I set out and started to travel across the U.S., finding more space, connecting and collaborating with other artists, and creating along the way.

My paintings are collected by art collectors internationally, I’m represented by Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, SC and Abend Gallery in Denver, CO, and my work has been widely published, including Beautiful Bizarre magazine, Juxtapose, American Art Collector, and Fine Art Connoisseur.
