I am interested in our relationship to each other, to other species and to our environment and am drawn to the narrative behind a painting, one that I try to express through symbolism and loose associations that spark connections and allude to 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
So proud to be part of the Santa Clara University virtual group art exhibition show, To Hear & Be Heard, conceived and curated by Marianne McGrath. This timely show is about civillity, 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.

For the first time ever I am offering archival inkjet prints or “giclées”! In the Pink has been so popular I am now offering prints on either heavy rag paper ($90) or stretched canvas ($200) in editions of 100 each. The image is 12″ x 12″ (just like the original) and the canvas print has pink edges and is wired ready for hanging. I plan on listing these with Etsy or Satchi soon but feel free to contact me directly in the mean time.
