Artist Statement

My work articulates a visual narrative of supportive enclaves, observing the importance of women’s relationships, and celebrating powerful rhythmic gestures, strong feminine heritage and the cathartic healing vitality of lyrical movement. 

As a NC based multidisciplinary artist, I explore reflections of spiritual, societal, familial and experiential connections in my life.

After nearly 35 years as a community muralist, my focus  shifted to studio work creating my story. I incorporate feminine arboreal forms in boldly emotive, gestural poses, sometimes, combining traditional elements and found or repurposed objects, - Catholic paraphernalia, vintage lace, onion bags, sticks, reclaimed metal – developing sculptures, mixed media pieces, drawings and prints. This work defines space through fluidity and  cadence with feminine magic gleaned from my immigrant,

matriarchal forbears and a tinge of humor.
