You will find many architectural references, styles, principles & elements of design in her work. There is a playful use of positive & negative space, leaving open areas with “floating” objects. With the use of circles, lines, and geometric patterns there is balance and symmetry to her work. Having experimented with different techniques at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. She uses sandblasting, etching, glass painting, slumping, fusing and special glass saw methods (ex: holes in the middle of the glass) to create her unique works of art.
As a spiritual person, a yoga practitioner, an avid golfer, and a lover of cats! You will occasionally see some of those elements in my work. After all art should reflect life and life's passions, right?
