I create abstract mixed-media art. I work with acrylics, because they dry quickly and allow me to layer the paint with collage, ink, pencils, pastels, and ephemera. I make collage papers with non-traditional materials and use image transfers from my own photos because these add personal texture to the artwork. My practice is process-based; that is, the inspiration I get from making art feeds into the process itself. I want the results to convey a feeling of playfulness to the viewer.

I often think of my work as aerial landscapes or shapes abstracting bits of the inspiration I collected along the way: a peaceful landscape from a hike, the texture of pebbles on the beach, the shades of chromatic greys in the city, the shape of a building, the scratches on the walls, and the tree trunks along the way.

My work has been juried into exhibitions at the Target Gallery in the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia; Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville; and many other local venues. My work is also licensed with Minted, West Elm, Williams Sonoma, and Samsung.

I am a member of the Columbia Pike Artists Studios and you can find me in studio #21.
