I am involved with figurative work in two and three dimensional form. I believe that people have always been drawn to the human form both prehistorically from cave drawings and on a personal level from the earliest childhood stick figure drawings. My interest is in finding the balance between portraying the universal figure in a less than realistic fashion and also at the same time divulging some unique characteristics of that same figure. For instance, an armless figure may show an exposed thinking apparatus in the head or perhaps reveal some personal aspect through the choice of its garment. In order to achieve this most effectively, I work with a variety of mixed media.

After working with the figures for a long time, I began to want to bring them out into the world in the form of sculpture. Some stand and some hang on the wall. I use a myriad of techniques, materials and found-objects in the struggle to find their true and sometimes quirky personas

My love of fiber has led me to placing my figurative images on fabric using various transfer and printing methods. I have used stitching, collage, painting and quilting in these works as well and the art quilt medium has allowed me to have a certain ease of expression.
