Stories have power!  They shape how we see the world and how we see ourselves.  It’s important to ask:  who is telling the story?

As I immersed myself in the myths and legends of women, I realized that most of our stories are told through a male lens.  My art seeks to change that.  Not only am I retelling old stories of women, but I am also creating new ones.  

To do this, I use materials often associated with “female arts” (sewing, flower arrangement, embroidery, scrapbooking, and more) combined with traditional fine arts media and techniques (paints, pastels, charcoals).  

My mixed media pieces give the power of our stories back to women while celebrating the magic and wonder that surrounds us every day.
