In her own words. "I am compelled to make images.   From the beginning of my conscious life I looked at the world.  I record images.  I share the wonder of creation with all who care to look.  I like to paint, draw and photograph…I am inclined to these activities both by nature and nurture. 

How I make my art depends on where I am.  When I have the time I work out-of-doors on an easel to make works on paper with oil sticks and oil pastels…portable, immediate media.  When I have less time, or it is way too cold or too hot I make referential photographs to work from in the studio, i.e. a photographic sketch book.  And I work from life to create portraits of people, animals and flowers in many ways; painted, drawn, or photographed in my studio.   Sometimes I draw into my photographs, or add paint to my drawings.

My work is usually on canvas, rag mat, papers or finely gessoed boards.  I work with oil and acrylic paints, oil sticks, oil pastels, inks, metallic colors, charcoal, colored pencils and anything else that leaves a mark when and where I want.  My photographic work is electronic in origin and is archivally printed and glazed in my studio. 

In my art I express my delight and wonder in this amazing and beautiful world of ours.  I always am conveying my sense of spirit, and things unseen, that inform my life.  I seek the life of whatever I am creating, be it animal, vegetable or mineral.  My work has its’ beginning in what I see, but comes to its own life as I express how I feel about the subject.  I feel great joy in life."
