Artist Statement
2025 has become a year of transition in my work.
The shift in my work evolves subtly, with unrest and boredom.
Yet, an underlying current always precipitates the change in my work.
None of us live in a vacuum, and my work reflects how I perceive my environment.
My work has embraced inclusion, unity, humor, and acceptance.
My work’s saturation of warmth and acceptance has not felt relevant recently.
The works shown beginning in 2025 reflect my assimilating an environment of isolation and exclusion.
DANCING KIMONO series, in which I explored the invisibility of the mature woman in society.
MOURNING/MORNING is the second work of 2025. This diptych addresses our relationship to mourning.
My YouTube channel has become a venue for performance art. I share my ongoing video journaling of my thoughts and the progression of my work. My journaling exposes the character evolution in each vignette, a key component of my finished works
