Being a recent transplant to Tucson, I am very excited to open my in studio and greet the arts appreciating community. We moved to Tucson last November, a town I had never been to till the day we rolled into town. But knowing I would love it here I have not been disappointed.
Currently in my studio I have a blend of previous work and new work inspired by this region. I tend to work in both paintings and sculptures in tandem, so my studio is always very active.

The sculptures I call NEWAGEFOLKLORE is an ongoing series of sculptural objects made from found objects that I have collected and amassed from travels and having lived in the desert, mountains and ocean. The collected objects were then assembled together, sometimes mounted on bone or gourd, and covered in beeswax. NEWAGEFOLKLORE is a direct reflection of the environments and cultures I have experienced. In combination these sculptural objects become potent visionary talismans of the cosmic human experience.
I look forward to meeting you during the Tucson Open Studio Tour!
