“Working with metal, beads, paper, watercolor and oil paint/cold wax media, my art is influenced by the natural world, by industrial landscapes and by found objects.
Recycling is very important to me and I use the more interesting found vintage and used items in my art whenever possible.
These elements become important facets of my unique mobiles, collages, assemblages, objets tableau and jewelry.
The challenge is in finding a new purpose for something found in a resale shop, at the scrapyard or on the street.
Often, the piece directs the artwork.
My art education includes classes at UW-Madison, MATC, Edgewood College and many local and far-flung art workshops.”
