I live in Grand Junction CO with my husband, two dogs, and a cat. I am a full time artist creating abstract paintings in oil or mixed medias, carve wax sculptures to be poured in bronze, and shoot the occasional picture with my cameras.

| About the Artist |
Art is my life and my passion. I have been creating art in some form or another for as long as I can remember. In 1999, I had a unique opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy through New York University emphasizing in photography and drawing. In 2002, I graduated with a BA from MSC in Colorado. Since then I have continued to create bronze and marble sculpture, abstract paintings, and photography-hand processed and digital. |

APHRODITE

Solo resembles independence and sophistication of the modern woman in a simple abstract form. |
Euterpe
2007 bronze/marble 18cmx14cmx4cm |

Euterpe is the flute playing muse. Muse means: the one who remembers. They are the daughters of the titan Mnemosyne who is the personification of remembrance. All nine muses have a science or an art to protect. Euterpe is a bronze sculpture on a white marble base. She has a mint green patina to appear weathered. Each muse was created with one arm in reference to the Greek sculptures that we see today. |
Epic
2007 Mixed Media 41cmx51cm |
|
Epic is one of four in a new abstract series. It is a 16x20 mixed media consisting of acrylic and oil. I usually paint monochromatic pieces, but thought that I would try painting with all of my favorite colors on one palette. The background is a vibrant yellow and orange with velvet-like blues and a rich crimson red. |
Dance of Terp

|
Dance of Terp is one of three new pieces that was on exhibit in a solo show called The Nine Muses and a Night of Passion and Music. It is an abstract acrylic painting on 24x48 canvas. |
