A compulsive gatherer, I have a fascination and obsession with organic forms. Fields, gardens, and forests welcome me and accept me. They feed my soul with tranquility and peace. With my hands, I compose foliage fragments of flowers, petals, leaves, seeds and stems, and create cyanotype assemblages. Working with botanicals preserves the memories of moments surrounded by unmatched beauty and strength. It has brought me much joy, and a deep appreciation for the perseverance of nature and its healing power. My work brings focus to all stages of life and its fragility, both tangible and ethereal.
