My art embraces a varied, colorful aesthetic influenced by intricate patterns, jigsaw puzzles, nature, dance, theater, and jazz. I love shiny surfaces and glitter, while also incorporating found items, evocative photos, and organic materials in multilayered assemblages. Most recently, I have transitioned from primarily drawing and mixed media collage to my new love, stained glass!
Over the past year, I have focused on a series of habitat works, using a variety of evocative materials and drawings to expose the lived realities behind beautiful calendar images. My work is archived in the galleries below. Each work has a story, detailed in the galleries and LA Art Notes. I welcome inquiries about originals and prints for sale, including a limited edition of collages printed on aluminum.

It’s Not What You Thought
This is the moment of betrayal, a woman in the moment of transition from her comfortable domestic world to visions of unsheathed daggers and blood. She lifts a jeweled hand as in a horror film. There are hints of luxury and shade, sex and violence. What has happened, and what will happen next?

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, April 5, 2025 4 – 6pm
ARTIST TALK: Saturday, April 12, 2025 4pm
Joie Debris explores the beauty, creativity, and possibilities found in discarded materials. The title is inspired by the French phrase “joie de vivre”, often translated as “the joy of living.” With that in mind, the pieces in this show celebrate the circular nature of life and art. The reuse and repurposing of materials – the transformation of waste into art, highlighting how recycled elements can spark joy, provoke thought, and inspire change. Joie Debris reimagines discarded objects—giving them new life, new meaning, and new purpose.
Urban Forest Illusion
An image of a forest is sliced in strips like glassy skyscrapers emerging from a verdant ground into a dusky, sparkling sky. This funhouse image skews perception to provide a disorienting perspective of the built environment, questioning its replacement of nature with steel and glass.
