I've been making art professionally for over 25 years. I like to try new things and take my art-making in new directions. Whatever  medium I am exploring, I am inspired by mark-making, color, and the deeply soulful, discovery process of being in the moment with the materials and the imagery as it arises. The approach is spontaneous and intuitive. My goal in the studio is to have fun and be curious about the surprises that happen. My art is playful with a bit of an "edge". Making art is my spiritual practice as symbols, archetypes and stories from the unconscious reveal themselves to me, which I then I share with others. I host intermittent Open Studios and Sales Events that are open to the public, private by-invitation only events and welcome visitors, by appointment. I take part in numerous art shows in local and regional venues and have ongoing representation by RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, OR.
