My abiding subject for years has been the earth and the forces that transform it - fires, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, the weather. In the last several years I have become interested in the forces that transform us, as individuals - love loss, death, the violence of natural disasters and the violence of humans, pain and suffering, success and failure. As we age, these experiences are etched on our faces,  our individual life journeys are made visible. I am now exploring the forces within us that shape our character as well as the outer, physical realities that shape our environment.  All my work involves paper. I paint it, stain it, cut and tear it, sew it, glue it, layer it out from the walls, suspend it from the ceiling. In short, it’s my medium.
