Statement
As a multidisciplinary artist, the interaction of light, colors, shapes and textures that I experience when in nature inspire me. I forage plant matter and inorganic materials to use as pigment, embedment, casting and inclusion layers within my artist-made papers, mixed-media wall pieces, and sculptures. They embody a memory connection to a seasonal time and place in the landscape.
