About the Artist

I use my art to tell stories, treating each page like a miniature stage. I rarely plan my compositions, instead striving for spontaneity, much like a child using art to process daily life. I tap into my inner child, letting randomness shape the imagery. Experimenting with various materials, I create strange, whimsical worlds with an unexpected psychological edge. As I work, narratives unfold organically, often incorporating symbols of my childhood fears. I'm fascinated by how my imagination materializes on the page and how the work develops its own life.
I earned my BFA from the University of Arizona in 1983 and joined the Central Arts Collective that same year, remaining active until 1990. After a hiatus from the art community, I returned to studio practice in 2004. Today, I work with ballpoint and gel pens, pastels mixed with paint mediums, pencils, charcoal, and paint on paper. My pieces range in size from 5x7 inches to 32x40 inches.
