Artist Statement

                                      Artist's Statement

 

My work as a mixed media artist includes acrylic, oil,  encaustic , and photography  using  collage methods  on canvas and/ or wood.  The use of mixed media gives me great freedom of expression in  a variety of themes, in both abstract and realistic styles. Themes that interest me most are spirituality, female self-image , and socio-educational issues.  My unconventional spiritual beliefs, experiences of self-mage issues, and 18 years of work  with children in  the inner city impact my art work. These three main areas are explored separately and  sometimes in relation to each other.
