I am attracted to sea life. The artwork I create
is inspired by many years living by the water
and much of my work shows my fascination with
the ocean and its creatures. The whimsical quality
of sea creatures real or make believe influences
my work. I have grown up swimming and if the
choice had been given to me as a child, I would
have wished to be a mermaid. I celebrate all
things tentacled all year long through my love
of art & science. Cephalopods are my favorite
(octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus)

I enjoy moving between the contrast of evoking
the large free-flowing forms of landscapes and
flowers and the more exacting rigor of painting
portraits. I work primarily with oil paint on
canvas and various types of printmaking, including
cyanotypes.
Using plants and flowers from my daily wanderings
along the coast, I have developed an ongoing
series of botanical prints using cyanotype on
watercolor paper.

I have no agendas in my artwork, work best when
alone in my quiet studio. Plants and houses
appear in much of my work, both 2D and 3D in
bright colors.
Work in recent years generally consists of doing
a mixed-media approach to art: printmaking as
a base (especially monotypes), with elements
of other work I've done; handmade paper, abstract
painting, photography (cyanotypes) added. I
usually machine stitch these collage pieces.

I began printmaking as a black-and-white film
photographer trained by a master printer in
the production of fine, archival photo prints.
When I started making monotype prints, I was
intrigued by my teacher's description of the
art for as "painterly" and by her encouragement
to" leave perfection at the door." The palette
knife eventually became my primary tool to apply
and manipulate pigments onto the printing plates,
and with it I unabashedly enjoy creating prints
that "suggest a world with action that we may
see in dreams or deep thought."

My artwork is inspired by nature and the beauty
surrounding us all. My ceramic work uses classic
forms glazed with unique flowing decorative
glazes, for me art is a personal projection.
I work on techniques constantly and create unique
ceramic pieces and I have incorporated mosaics
into my ceramic work. Often I combine handmade
ceramic pieces in my mosaics.

I have been an artist all my life, drawing and
painting ever since I can remember and continue
to this day. Over the years I have experimented
in other mediums, including watercolor, collage,
printmaking, black/white photography and making
cyanotypes and handmade paper.
In all mediums I've striven to create work that
has clean lines, interesting form and negative
space. I frequently find that details interest
me more than the total object.

My prints are large scale ( 24" by 30") linocuts
with multiple mono print drops to achieve rich
color and patterns.
My recent work draws on familiar insect imagery
through a larger than life lens. My focus is
on composition, and the ability to describe
tiny life forms in a revealing way.

Monoprinting is a form of printmaking where
the plate (I use Plexiglas plastic) is inked
and manipulated so that every print is unique.
After inking and preparing a plate, it is run
through an etching press.
Earlier this year, several whales migrated very
close to the San Francisco shoreline and some
even swam into the bay! I enjoyed knowing that
they were nearby and began working on a series
of whale prints.
