First trained as a studio artist, I came to photography in my master’s program at CU, Boulder. Never honoring the purity of photography, I have always mixed, combined and blended my work with traditional, artistic approaches, as well as video installation, printmaking, encaustics, and painting. I am interested in reinterpreting the photographic image, rendering or embedding my conceptual ideation and multimedia approaches – pushing the boundaries of the image.
I give myself license to explore ideas based on life's circumstances, interpreted through various photographic and traditional materials. My current artistic expressions include: oils on canvas, archival printed photographs, prints, and mixed-media works. They all tell the story of my travels, internal and external, coupled with my increasing need for “slowness.”
