Interwoven through my life is an adoration of the female figure and a devotion to sacred images as well as those that are secular. My experiences have provided me with a host of intimate narratives of love, silence, and vulnerability. I am a lesbian, and legally married.

In my art, I combine the sometimes-contradictory elements of my religious upbringing and my sexuality, exploring spirituality in the context of feminist and gay issues. I transform these personal experiences as universal themes that address identity, human consciousness, and loss of life, health and relationships.

My formal training has included sculpture; photography and professional visual merchandise display.
