Artist Statement:
My artwork has two focuses;
mixed media collage and
painting.
2011 marked the 10th
Anniversary of my work with
maps. I have always used old
maps in my collages and
incorporated map based ideas

traditional art forms using

textiles. In 2009 the
patterns used in my collage
work started to take on a more
painterly appearance.
When I paint, my main focus is
Western landscape. I spend a
great deal of time visiting
the desert seeking
inspiration.
In 2011 I started The 2011
Project is a, large-scale
piece where I created a map of
the entire year. The year was

art for each day of 2011. The
completed pieces will be shown
as an installation(s) in 2012.
The work is made up of 365
individual, mixed media
pieces, each 4”x4” (10x10 cm)
in size. Each piece was done
as a reflection of an ...
