​My recent works explore a variety of approaches toward the theme of transitions, or liminality--
and the in-between spaces and times, states of being, or awareness that invite us to be transformed. 

I explore transitions both realistically and symbolically using collage, painting, drawing, mixed media,
visual journaling and fabric design. Through these media and processes, I focus on concepts related to transitions
such as,
​lost/found
openings/closure
disconnect/connect
tear/re-pair
beginnings/endings
waiting/leaving
and dark/light.

 Techniques of spacial organization that reflect irregularity and imperfection are integrated to support these concepts.
​
I extend these concepts in my use of media-- in the transparency and layering of paint, in mark making and erasure,
in the tearing and piecing together of collage elements, in the use of image and text, and in the repetition of shapes
and symbols that have personal and spiritual significance.  

Recent paintings and designs incorporate the repetition of shapes, numbers, symbols and letters that result in
unique & beautiful patterns suggestive of deeper meanings and associations related to transitions and personal transformation.
