Getaway II Artwork

I am a lifelong artist who spent 20 years teaching and being inspired by public school students in grades K-12. My current work has layers of acrylic paint and fabric collage. The painting sets the initial tone and inspires a drawing on fabric, which is then cut out and applied to the canvas with a clear acrylic coat. I’m drawn to landscapes in my suburban neighborhood – there’s something about the intersection of nature and the built environment! I love working with the structure of this process, and enjoy juxtaposing painting with precisely drawn and cut fabric. My hope is that my work holds meaning for someone else.
