I have worked in many capacities over my lifetime, including social worker. No matter what my “day job,” I have created various types of art since childhood and throughout my adult years, and organic forms have been my inspiration and a continued theme.

Recently, I have been incorporating small ceramic pieces, some of which I made by hand, with much-loved vintage buttons and other sewing accessories and/or knitted materials. I also have been growing flowers in my sunroom, then drying them and preserving them against a backdrop of acrylic on canvas.

I considered how artists attempt to capture moments of images and feelings, as if to immortalize them. My art overall is my acceptance of the beauty in the world, and its ultimate death, while longing for an eternity of physical form.
