Artist Statement

I am a photographer dedicated to creating original and unique artwork that celebrates nature. I use my photographs and the designs I create from them in my handmade mixed media pieces.   I am passionate about printing directly on fabric and unusual surfaces such as lutradur, metal and wood, and revel in exploring innovative processes for printing and creating art.  I also use transfer techniques for my mixed media creations, and to adorn wooden treasure boxes, tiles, etc.

I am an active member of local arts groups, the El Cerrito Art Association and Pinole Artisans, as well as online arts and crafts groups.

I have been a photographer for more than 20 years. I show and sell my work at galleries and online, and teach workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area.
