I am interested in our relationship to each other, to other species and to our environment. I am drawn to the narrative behind a painting, one that I try to express through symbolism and loose associations that spark connections and reveal truths that lie just beneath the surface. Often dark or playful, but always beautiful because it is beauty that touches our soul and opens our hearts and minds.

To Hear & Be Heard
We Are Stardust is part of the Santa Clara University”s virtual group art exhibition show, To Hear & Be Heard, conceived and curated by Marianne McGrath. This timely show is about civility, community and that which unites and divides us.
We Are Stardust is my response to what civility in community looks like – my take on a Garden of Eden where we are our best selves.
