Her life as a critical care NICU nurse has influenced complex narratives revealed in titles and form, always sensitive to grief, healing, forgiveness and ultimately moving on. Her profession has also
provided unique tools used to intricately construct works full of color and texture with conclusions of peace engulfed in exuberant joy."

"Invoking the same temptation as the most delicately frosted confections, my work plays on the sensuality of the senses through its use of texture and shape. These are not meant to be minimalist works that focus on limitations, but rather on the ripeness and lushness of both paint and color. Utilizing a broad spectrum of tools -ranging from the traditional, to the more experimental- I articulate fantastic shapes cultivated from my mind by sculpting the paint and integrating delicate variegations in each mark. Resultant is series of paintings celebrating the richness of paint as a three dimensional medium, the boldness of color in both its purest form, and the explosion of the earth’s bounty through the lens of my artistic imagination.“
