I am an artist and mother, located in the woods south of Charlottesville, Va.

I create to understand existence and the interplay of the mind, body, and spirit of the Self with those of all Others. I want to understand the images, words, and colors that come into the mind, internally or externally derived, and how are they processed through creation by the body outward. I want to explore what they mean and what expression is wanting to come through them.

At other times, I create to form a piece that was made through full devotion to the present seen and worked through my eyes and hands as they were when mindfully surrounded in an eternal moment. As well as, to gain better knowledge and understanding of the form, lines, and color of the subject before me. An understanding greater than the quick movement and assumption our eyes and mind usually make about the subject when simply passing it over without thought in other mundane moments.
