A lifelong visual artist persistently making incorrigible art. Recognizable with its combination of loose paint, line work, representational anchor, charred elements, and layered collage. Her work has been seen in group and solo exhibitions in Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Durham, Hillsborough, and Chapel Hill, NC, Columbia, Greenville, Greenwood, SC and online.

Favorite type of art to create

Risky! Trying out a new idea, it's going really well. So well that it's time to risk everything to push a little further. Lighting it on fire is always a good start. Pouring paint to run all over the perfect little image that I've made. Painting over large sections that are too controlled. My favorite art is a gamble. Unsafe. Probably a disaster but the only kind worth doing.

Inspirations

I use painting to process life. I have my obsessions: urbanity, global conflict, predators. Visually, I love anatomy, flora and fauna, always in decay. Processing life is really a journey of processing death and darkness. Art is a journal for the sea of emotion and experience.
