"An archivist by instinct, I collect and create images to construct a visual vocabulary. I make non-literal narratives, finding connections and catalysts that tell a story in time and place with people, objects, marks and layers.

My working habits and processes originate from my formal studies in printmaking, painting/drawing, photography, graphic design and textiles. I am idea-driven, not process or materials-driven. I view processes as tools in my toolbox.

Instead of a sketchbook, I keep an idea book of words, concepts, titles and newspaper headlines. I never sketch or plan extensively as I like spontaneity and don’t mind being taken in totally unexpected directions."

Our monthly zoom meeting happens every 3rd Wednesday of the month and is the best way to receive the latest news from the OAL Board of Trustees, meet other members, share work, and tell fellow artists and arts organizers about upcoming exhibitions you may be involved in.

Invite your friends! Non-members are welcome.
