With this series I experimented using raw linen as my surface and employing an Old Masters technique of applying layers of dry pigment mixed with a natural binder onto the linen.

Blue is a contemplative color, a spiritual color, and to me all the mysteries are embedded in blue which led to my exploration of this particular shade, called Anthraquinone Blue in this watercolor series.

As the social climate of the United States became more divisive in the late 2010’s, I witnessed a shift as the collective female rage was owned. Women’s voices rose to the forefront as they challenged the patriarchal status quo. I used my art as my voice to reflect this rage.

In the Color Synergy series I free my mind allowing my intuition to guide my hands and inform my palette. When patterns emerge and color harmony is achieved I know I have touched something greater than myself and the painting is complete.

Forty clay figures emerged spontaneously over the course of six months. Each one told me its name and shared its wisdom. The primitiveness of their forms, reminiscent of the early stone age figures, denotes the timeless wisdom they have come to share.
