The emotional component of my work is my primary concern. I strive to create work that will invite a connection with the viewer and instigate healing and change on both individual and social levels.

I approach my work through the subjective lens by which I live. I am a heterosexual woman who has been married and divorced twice, raised three kids, and comes from a family of origin that is a fascinating and disturbing study in the complexities and paradoxes of human character. My relationships with people feed my compulsion to understand the dramas we all face as humans. I align myself with the third wave of feminism and embrace the notion that female sexuality is a potent source of power.

I am a storyteller who wishes to shed light on issues that affect us all. Most of my work, in general terms, addresses gender and relationship issues. Specifically, I am interested in family and relationship dynamics and dysfunction and how our interpersonal communications in those relationships influence our behaviors and figure into the constant reshaping of our identities. My desire to understand our expressions of love and hate, self-love and self-loathing, desire, pleasure, and addiction as the manifestations of our collective existence is, oftentimes, an addiction in itself.

Because I work from a subjective stance, I follow my impulse to include myself in my work, thus acknowledging my unavoidable presence as maker, further encouraging a connection with the viewer and challenging the idea of spectator as Other, a separate and malleable entity.
