Artist Statement:
Born and raised in Savannah,
Georgia, I had no other choice
but to become an artist. I
was surrouned by other
artists, both in my family and

always been my passion - even
as a small child. In 2005,
when my husband and I moved to
South Carolina, I found it
hard to fit in to the local
artist scene. This was
depressing.
However, as my art work
evolved from creating
paintings to creating
assemblage art, I found my
niche. By day, I am a systems
administrator and graphic
designer for a local media
company. However, on weekends
and at night,I scavenge the
countryside for the rusted,
broken and unwanted. I look
to heal these lost objects
like one would heal a broken
heart.
I find that my transition into
assemblage art takes me back
to my previous life in
Savannah. In Savannah,
everything that I knew and
loved had a history... my
history... my ancestor's
history. Yet, moving to a
foreign place whose streets
are not donned with
cobblestones or lined with
wrought iron fences, left me
feeling empty.
I began searching for my
raison d'etre in this little

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
My biggest inspirations are love, life and nature. I tend to seek the stories of the lost, broken or unloved in my art. When I find an old broken doll, a faded or washed out photograph or an old rusty piece of metal, I feel that artifact was put in my path for me to discover its story. Sometimes my discovery is not just of the artifact, but also within myself. |
