My art embraces a varied, colorful aesthetic influenced by intricate patterns, jigsaw puzzles, nature, dance, theater, and jazz. I love reflective and textured surfaces, while also incorporating found items, evocative photos, and organic materials in multilayered compositions. Holding on to those aesthetic influences, I’ve been branching out from working primarily with paper and foil to stained glass, mixed media collage, plein air pastels, and even some experimental paper making!

I welcome inquiries about stained glass commissions, as well as original artworks and prints for sale. Contact me.

I started 2026 with one small collage artwork per day as part of the 2026 New Year Mandala project. Reflective materials (foil, holographic paper, glitter, glass), layers, and stickers. Experiencing wild swings from hope to cautious optimism to overcoming sadness, I tried to project comfort and hope for each month.
