I am thinking and remembering - but I am listening and observing. I find inspiration by enjoying everyday experiences, engaging in social interactions and by reading literature of all genres. My extensive travels have influenced my art by increasing my knowledge base, by learning new techniques and by increasing my visual experiences. When I am creating I am at my most peaceful and at my highest level of intellectual being. My images are created from memory, imagination, observation and enjoyment of life experiences. My most successful pieces have been created intuitively and by enjoying the aura that occurs during the creative process.

I am an award-winning multi-media artist inspired by colors, lines and shapes. In June 2005, I earned my Certificate in Drawing Program from the School of the Art Institute. I mainly work in collage, pastels, photography, pen & ink and watercolor and have recently increased my use of acrylics. I have been known to also use my photography in collages and as studies. I often love to combine many types of media and frequently experiment with different techniques.

I have shown my work extensively in solo and group (juried and non-juried) shows in museums, brick & mortar galleries and some virtual galleries. I have enjoyed creating commissioned work for private collections throughout the United States, Mexico and Europe.

I founded Planet Collage (est. 9-2005) and co-founded the Midwest Collage Society. Most recently, I curate a monthly international postcard collage exchange (est. 4-2006) and a periodic international candy tin exchange (est. 3-2007). I also curate periodic group planetcollage.com group shows. Most currently, I Facilitate "Her Group" which is sponsored by Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, Illinois. Additionally, I generously share my corporate experience by serving on many art-related and non-art-related boards.

I believe that everyone has artistic potential and I am always encouraging and mentoring others to find their individual strengths and passions. Creativity is a part of my everyday life. I love to share in what I enjoy best!
