Artist Registry

I was raised on the bayous of southern Louisiana. My pursuit of an MS degree in Arts Administration from Bank Street College and Parsons School of Design brought me to New York, NY, which has been home for over 25 years. I am president and co-founder of the South of the Navy Yard Artists (SONYA), and have recently moved my painting and printmaking studio to a repurposed dairy barn in Walton, NY where my husband and I plan to retire--someday.
The motivating passion that drives my creative work is an endless search for the essential truth and beauty of natural life cycles. I am curious as to how we humans deal with natural laws and energies happening at the edges of our daily consciousness.

I use symbols of portals, homes, paths, forest and mountain to represent both the human psyche and natural life force, placing them in landscapes abstracted from my urban, rural, past, present, and dreamed experiences. My primary media are paints, inks and papers. I find that the immediacy, unpredictability, and fragility of the watercolor, collage and printmaking processes on paper work best for narrating an ongoing, ever changing circumstances of a life journey.
