About

“I have always created objects and am interested in layers of experience and memory, reinterpreted in multidisciplinary form and defying easy categorization. I have created more than twenty-five series, exploring nature, luck, journeys, and history; these series vary and overlap in artistic medium and, again, defy categorization. Photographs, gathered objects, and references to historical texts, architecture, and the natural world all find their way into my work.”

*But here’s the thing, I’ve never wanted my work to fall into categories. I think creativity is best uncategorized. That’s why my work is just art, not women’s art or feminist’s art, or landscapes or portraits or still life. If you look at my work closely, you’ll see why. There’s a little bit of each those things but not exclusively. So when you look at my work try not to categorize, just look at it.

My education includes a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, where I studied under master printmaker Dan Gualdoni, Peter Marcus, Suzanne Anker and Joan Hall and several years in the San Francisco Bay Area and France as a friend and informal teaching assistant with artist Raymond Saunders at CCAC (now CCA).

My current gallery / workshop / studio is called CATEGORY - ART, because the only real category that fits is Creativity.
