Juicy and whimsical best describes my work. I am intrigued with the idea of metamorphosis; nostalgic feelings evoked from old trucks, retro printed fabrics, antique pottery, unusual chairs, shapely shoes and unconventional gardens. I incorporate color, texture and patterns as I paint, drawing inspiration from authors , dreams , and a love for textiles.

Reality can be difficult sometimes so I prefer to reinvent it in my still life studies adding fantasy, humor and objects of desire and interest. Changing or adding elements suggests transformation and allows me to tell a story or tell another side to a story.

For most of my career, my main choice of medium has been watercolor. In recent years, I began studying techniques including acrylics and collage. The differences in these mediums allows me to incorporate differerent surfaces and dimensions -- something I am enjoying tremendously, and it has definitely given my work a fresh look. I am integrating objects that include functional pieces of furniture for the home -- including shadow boxes, mirrors, and canvases.
