Although I was trained as a painter (UNC-Chapel Hill, BFA), my pri­ma­ry medi­um for my artis­tic expres­sion is pho­to­graph­ic mon­tage (archival prints and mixed media).

Sto­ries in the form of fables, myths and fairy tales have always held a fas­ci­na­tion for me and helped me find per­spec­tive on my own deep­est thoughts and emo­tions. The writ­ings of Carl Jung and Joseph Camp­bell com­bined with my love of sto­ries inspire me to delve deep into the emo­tions of my uncon­scious mind… those thoughts trans­late into pho­to­graph­ic stories.

Although my art is very per­son­al, I am delight­ed when my images appeal to view­ers who dis­cov­er a dif­fer­ent inter­pre­ta­tion based on their own life experience.
