Painting

I work in series, exploring a theme through multiple paintings. Most of my work is figurative, capturing my experience as a woman and my obsession with stories. Common themes include the relationship between people and technology, the role of women in historic and present mythology, and the human capacity to overlook uncomfortable truths.

Coming to Our Senses

a woman stands in the window, drinking lemon flavor from a can
a woman surrounded by photos of friends and family presses her hand against the window because she is alone

Women wait in their windows, looking out on nothing. Each tries desperately to recreate a specific sensation, something that once was, but now that has vanished in all but a synthesized form.

Midnight in the Garden

Midnight in the garden explores good and evil, capturing virtue and vice in simple embodiments. What's good is not always good for all time, however, and it can be hard to keep up with such fickle gods making the rules.
