I am an artist, author, and publisher. I create environments that are lush and surreal, rich with color, texture and pattern. Many of my works contain sculpted papier-mâché features and beadwork, which push my 2-D work into a 3-D realm. My artwork includes 3-dimensional oil on canvas paintings, cold wax and oil paint abstracts, papier-mâché sculptures and pen and ink drawings. I believe my creations are the best part of me. Art is where I go for refuge, replenishing, and how I pay homage to what sustains me.
