Art is the language that I use to contemplate the seen and the unseen. With a lifelong interest in both drawing & dance, I studied illustration in Savannah at SCAD, then received my BFA in Boston at MassArt. I have also performed on various stages in different capacities around the country. As a visual artist and a performance artist, I have connections in both fine art, illustration, dance, costume, makeup, and hair. I’ve worked in paper, paper mâché, fabric, copper wire, ink, gouache & acrylic, and mixed-media. And through these mediums, I’ve experimented in both 2-D and 3-D works, and in small to larger scale installations. My current obsession is lampshades. Specifically, bringing older lampshades a new life, in my favorite medium ~ paper. Handmade paper, vintage magazines, drawings, paintings, and sketches are all mixed together to form a one of a kind lampshade. Each shade tells a different story from every angle and the story continues to evolve depending on if the light is on or off. The possibilities feel endless.
