Mixed Media Art



These samples show how much I like to experiment with different forms and materials. So much color and texture to work with! The aspect of my work that doesn’t change is the returning focus on the human experience and our unseen connections to each other, nature and our universe – and the Mystery.

I have been exploring the marriage of word and image since 1996. Love of paper and color is the starting  point as I combine them with acrylics, watercolors, inks and dyes, along with fabric, fibers, metal and other materials.

The visual art is inspired by my personal poetry, which may appear in part as a short verbal prompt, or in its entirety.  Sometimes the words aren’t visible at all, but physically incorporated into the materials or hidden behind them.  My goal is for the combination of both components to result in work that resonates in a heartfelt way with the viewer.
