My artistic process moves in phases—one moment, I’m painting acrylic backgrounds or patina on copper; the next, I’m crafting bug coffins or designing delicate wings. Lately, I’ve been diving back into life drawing, which has reignited my passion for sketching, and I’m also experimenting with collage using my photography.

In addition to creating, I love sharing what I’ve learned. With an associate’s degree in Commercial Art and a bachelor’s in Art Education, teaching has always been part of my journey. I recently started a YouTube channel to combine my passion for art with my love of teaching.

My work spans multiple genres—collage, photography, sculpture, paper arts, and graphic design. I am forever intrigued with mediums that are a bit unpredictable. Like Fantasy Film, I love taking it from a flat film sheet into 3-dimensional melted film creations and wings. I also use fabric, found objects, jewelry, photos, wood, paint, glitter, wire, organic objects and any other type of ephemera I find pleasing (including bugs!).

You can find my art at Copper Cactus Coffee & Gifts, Clarkdale, AZ and Jerome Heritage Shop,Jerome, AZ. I also have the joy of participating in the Annual Made In Clarkdale Artist Showcase every December.

Bless my family for putting up with all my passions taking over the house. My husband, kids, grandkids, and fur babies—sending all my love your way!

Enjoy!
