About the artist

 For 30 years I worked in healthcare as an advocate for individuals with disabilities. In the last 14 years I have been able to do art full time.

My creative work comes from manipulation of language symbols and dreams whether that transforms itself into tables, sculpture, totems, or panels as it’s form.

All pieces start from recycled materials. Items that have been disregarded rejected or tossed out as trash. The subject is usually determined by the recycled materials as to what it will become, a table, a totem, a sculpture. Those materials are cleaned, repaired, re-imagined, and become what I see in them.
