BIOGRAPHY

I have always been drawn to art that showcases texture and depth of color. Working with modern acrylics allows me to express myself in a style that reflects my ideas, thoughts, and memories while employing ancient techniques such as grisaille, glazing, and underpainting.

My work explores the contrasts of old versus new, ancient versus modern, and there versus here. By utilizing the technique of Image Transfer, I can create imagery that embodies both the past and the present. For instance, old photographs of family are reproduced digitally and superimposed on textured backgrounds, combining the old with the new and breathing new life into history.

My art is thoughtful and multi-layered, inviting the audience to look beyond the obvious and wonder, “How did she do that?” Since my work incorporates my own photography, I also aim for viewers to connect with it in a way that jogs memories or invokes a desire to share in my experiences.
