"I am in fortitude to the commitment of creating work that glorifies rebirth.  I use found materials to reinvent possibilities!  My art comes from things we’ve used and soon forgotten.  My belief is to renew the value of many things forgotten, into fresh vistas of expression that hopefully invigorate one’s sensibilities and consciousness.  When others experience my art, it is my hope that it impacts the viewer in a way that is transformative.  My work speaks and echoes a readiness of contemporary realness.  I am and it is, what you see, but in a whole new way!  The work is about revitalization and metaphor.  It imbues new freedom through the engagement of so called urban salvage or junk if you will, that I reshape and reinterpret into art that is hopefully spirit filled, bold, and honest.  My work reflects deep stories that travel the journey of a soul searcher and life weaver.  My work is me.  It is my homage in celebration of life.  It is my salvation and my continual rebirth that I hope shares something of meaning to the viewer!"

"Recycling and reclaiming—underline clearly her conceptual purpose, that is, to acknowledge and affirm the connection between nature and the most outcast objects of human civilization. It is a radically improvisational approach."
