Against the Tide Artwork

A viewer once said of my work…” Your art reminds people of themselves, of who they really are. They recognize the art they forgot about...  They realize they do know, and can know, and that they never really lost themselves, that they are still there and it makes them happy…” I see art as something that is illuminating, healing and necessary. Creating something unique, merging color with form, and revealing new aesthetics, is a passion of mine. My body of visual artwork is influenced by a lifelong study of world cultures, music and dance. I believe through art, we can find a way see something beyond expectations, opening up new worlds of possibilities. My aim in my own work, is to emerge with an outcome that can move and awaken. My concern for the Earth’s environment, starting with our oceans, reveals itself through the images in some of my work, and the sustainable materials I am incorporating into my art practice.
