Artist's Statement

“My work is influenced by texture, travel, feminine nostalgia and rock and roll. As an interdisciplinary artist I use painting, photography, installation, video, mixed media and glitter to create my art. I seek inspiration from the stark black and white films of the darkroom days, expressionism and portraiture with the juxtaposition of vibrant color palettes influenced by the gilded Byzantine art of the thirteenth century, the iconic pop of the 1960s and long dusty road trips through the desert.”
