Artwork has always played a significant role in my life, but it was not until I left a career in finance that I began to express my strong interest in family and cultural history through my artwork.  I soon realized the power of artwork in telling a story, a concept that has proven to be central to my work.

My family history series uses both word and image, weaving together past and present to create a sense of mystery. I frequently make use of  metallic pigments in my work.  Gold in particular has many layers of meaning in the context of this series often creating a veil that hides the past.

Much of my work is figurative and often includes collage-like elements.  Stories are deeply embedded with narrative that becomes an important component of the artwork.
