Hello and thanks for stopping by

I spent a bunch of years trying to define myself and my art, trying to figure it all out. I finally decided that I didn¹t need to be one kind of artist- I needed to be as many artists as I am… which is many! So, welcome to my many-sided website. My recent projects include:

  • A Tree of LIfe series, mixed media paintings on canvas (I have completed this series)
  • A Labyrinth series, acrylic monoprints with colored pencil detail
  • My latest painting series, Go Outside, acrylics on canvas
  • A Parenting Shrines series, small figure sculpture and assemblage
  • Bossy¹s Feltworks, a three moms needle felting cooperative (we are having a blast!)
  • Monoprints on subjects other than the labyrinth
  • Photography, something I do for fun and inspiration

Browse and enjoy! Buy a few things if you are so inclined... and get creative yourself. The world can use all the beauty we can bring to each other.
