Full Artist Bio
“Most of the artworks are inspired by nature. I incorporate mica into all that I create. Mica is a beautiful transparent crystal I get from a mine in New Hampshire.. I love it…
My paintings are mostly about my sculpture. They all have mica in the work, with layers of collage of handmade papers with collagraph prints I have painted on. I enjoy giving new life to my older work, and I especially like that they reflect the family feeling.”
