"My practice of making mixed-media art continues to be 

the same as it always has been...a visual diary.

There is an emphasis on transporting the internal witness

to an external place for peace and presence. 

If not complete peace at the moment, 

then a place for contemplation and reflection. 

My work is an empirical interpretation of a universal experience,

daily living…in a unique and meaningful environment.

I am motivated by the desire to process my observations, 

explore the findings and gain insight to the significance. 

My art becomes current, in the moment, using a medium of choice

while representing acceptance of what is."
