Artist Statement:
Being an artist and a nurse, I
am interested in what it means

constitutes illness, health,
and wholeness. In addition to
being influenced by science, I
am inspired by futurist and
evolutionary theories,
spirituality, mythology,
nature, transpersonal
psychology, and women’s
studies. These disciplines
inform my creative process and
provide interesting insights
into the end results. I am
curious about the effects of
change and loss on our bodies,

transform and heal, and what
the role of hope is in the
process. So in my paintings,
found object sculptures,
music, and writing, I am
constructing, deconstructing,
recycling, and reconstructing
information and materials in
ways that encourage and open
internal and external
dialogues. I have just
started exhibiting, “She is So
Composed”, a grouping of works
inspired and loosely related
to studies I did of the
twelfth century mystic,
Hildegard de Bingen; American
woman composer, Amy Beach; and
performance artist, Laurie
Anderson. I see the exhibit
as a living organism. I am
looking forward to allowing it
to change with each showing;

and evolving in time and space
as I see myself doing.
Through all these
explorations, I ...
