About Us
I have always enjoyed art and creative pursuits, and
have long been interested in a variety of media. After
I took my first calligraphy class in 1987, a spark was
ignited.  Calligraphy
as an art form was a very exciting discovery. I had finally
found a creative outlet that would allow me to express
thoughts and emotions on many levels.
My goal is to take artwork beyond the written word…
to leave an emotional impact with the viewer that goes
beyond the obvious text and reaches inward to create an
emotional connection. I approach each piece of art as
a visual interpretation of the text. Working intuitively,
I let the words themselves guide me as to the method and
materials to use in the finished product. My exploration
and discovery of new techniques and materials is ongoing.
Hand cast paper, lithography, and hand thrown pottery
vessels have all found their way into my work. Most recently,
I have been involved in the creation of family legacy
artworks, which blend vintage photographs and other memorabilia
to create a one-of-a-kind family history.
I enjoy employing the visual power of words, essentially
painted language, to engage viewers on a deeper level.
