ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Western society promotes and feeds on immediate gratification. Our ties to third world countries provide inexpensive manufactured products which has allowed most countries of western civilization to become avid consumers. Our decreased satisfaction with our unique lives, and social media's emphasis on comparing ourselves to each other, has spawned an out-of-control desire to "keep up with the Joneses (Kardashians?)"; which has encouraged people to spend money, which they don't have, on things that they don't need.

A painter and sculptor, with works in graphite, acrylic, clay, plaster and fiber, she uses a variety of techniques to create expressive communication through experiences and effects. With works in Museums in N.M and TX and gallery works in N.Y., L.A., London and Rome branching out to public installation has given voice to pieces that speak to people in the community and to visitors to the area, to bring awareness of the socio-cultural challenges facing each unique location and awareness of art as a communication tool.
