The ‘EMERGE’ exhibit from March 1 - 31, 2021. This series highlights the use of different media for portrait collage paintings, drawings and assemblage pieces.

A common theme woven throughout is a desire to have a harmonious relationship between the natural and human world. The delicate environments layered with imagery from the 1920’s and objects from nature are protected within glass or acrylic. As a narrative body of work, these elements allow each story to unfold with both whimsy and sophistication.

Butterflies represent rebirth, transformation and hope. Inspired by the Native American belief that animals serve as sacred messengers, you will see these relationships explored within the series. Gemstone formations are carefully selected for texture and healing energies. These evocative compositions are not only aesthetically beautiful but also invite the viewer to ponder the connections within our ecosystem.
