I have been drawn to art and the creative process since I was a young girl, drawing or painting posters for my school and church. Later in life after suffering a permanent disability, it was art that kept me focused on the road to recovery. Art provides me with the opportunity to explore the world around me.

I also like to draw inspiration from nature, which gives deep,mystical and meaningful influences that satisfy my creative desires. Nature's forms and textures offer the inspiration for many of the pieces I create.

Metal is the medium that I choose to work with while it starts out rigid, it can become quite fluid when heated and hammered. This allows me to manipulate the metal into almost any organic form.

I use the human body to represent ideas, patterns and emotions that are common or familiar. Self renewal, intimacy, betrayal, beauty and balance reflect some of the current issues I am addressing. I would like my work to be viewed in a familiar and personal way by the observer. I realize my artwork presents thoughts and feelings that are shared, but are not always expressed.
