New Smyrna Beach, FL
I am an artist and writer who lives and works in the middle of an old hardwood hammock. I work primarily in mixed media collage, using painted, printed, and chemically altered papers. I'm very experimental-- freely including, and layering, sumi and iridescent inks, watercolor dyes, pen and ink work, and whatever else floats my boat. My artwork is reflective of my passion for writing (and reading) and vise versa. I often reference literature in my art. I am captivated by the power of the artist as visual storyteller to arrange, rearrange, layer, and add elements that shape a narrative. In tandem with that is a fascination with the changable nature of stories over time and cultures. My professional background is in art education and visual literacy--I've done a lot of teaching and writing about both. Along with my passion for art, I love to travel, to tend the land and living things on our property, to spend time with my family, to cook, to read to children, and to learn new things.
