Paintings
Many of my paintings are inspired by other series. Images that I feel a particularly strong connection too are often recreated in my paintings. I experiment with texture and pattern using acrylic paints and a variety of brushes and found objects to create interesting and unique surfaces around my images.

Sculptures
The sculptures I create are made from a variety of materials, most commonly wire. They are abstract portraits and symbolic portraits using objects to represent individuals and their experiences.

Drawings
The drawings series started as pen and ink studies for other works and as drawings that would be later collaged and layered into other pieces. The pieces in the drawings series are those that made me stop that process and let them stand alone.

Impressions
The pieces in this series are layered with multiple figures and lines. Each has complex visual and emotional depth. These works explore and at times confront the many roles and stereotypes of women. I am inspired by my own observations, the media, and popular culture. These pieces are done by hand using pen, ink and collage techniques.

Reactions
This series is inspired by the reactions we have to physical and emotional experiences. Some reactions are subtle and others are explosive, whether they are experienced within one's mind or manifest into a public outburst of joy, hatred or humilitation.

Portraits
The pieces in this series are portraits of individuals who have inspired or evoked some strong emotional response in me. Some I have know all my life and others I know only through the media and history. I have explored those emotions by creating portraits of them use pen, ink and collage techniques. The portraits are abstracted to allow for a unique and personal experience for each viewer. The viewer can mentally fill in the negative spaces to see the image as it relates to their own personal experiences.
