ABOUT ME
Every art project that I create has a memory and a story.
As an artist I am a keeper and collector of various materials and objects, found or recycled, that
often provide inspiration and ideas for my work. I welcome these elements into my creative process and by doing so, I feel a deep connection with my own experiences and often with the experiences of others.
Each time I integrate wool from an old sweater or add dry flowers from the garden, an old story continues to live by becoming a part of something new and different.
Nature is another important source of inspiration for me. I am grateful for the beauty and power of nature that is a constant gift of energy, nurture and support.
I hope you enjoy visiting my page. Feel free to reach out.
