I am a mixed media artist with a passion for socially conscious art. Much of my work explores issues of social justice. Simultaneously I am drawn to texture, materials pattern, and color. Working with found objects expands my visual vocabulary. These materials, each of which brings its own history and associations, give a deeper and multi-dimensional reading to the work, work I hope will challenge perspectives and ignite conversations.
