I am an explorer of line, color, shape and form. Using silkscreen as a springboard I create works on paper as well as textiles. Art infuses life with beauty, allows us to ask and answer open ended questions, opening lines of communication. My own work is informed by artists working in relief printing, large format silkscreen and collage, past and present. As an art educator I believe in the right of every child to explore their innate creativity. I am an arts advocate in my rural, underserved parish.
