My passion for art began as a young girl on a dairy farm in the countryside of Vermont.The incredible change of seasons I witnessed through rich colors, textures and patterns inspired me to want to capture the essence of that beauty.

The beauty of the female body and spirit has always inspired me.The female form is a vehicle through which I can explore color, design and pattern and symbolism as a means of conveying moods and feelings. Through the use of earth elements and animal symbolism I can create a divine connection to our own true nature.

Discovering beautiful historical portraits in museums throughout Europe while studying art history also became a passion. Exploring this need to express what is most meaningful to me through my art I came up with the idea of re-creating these beautiful portraits in my own style by setting within their frames some of the celebrated icons of our time. Because of my love for animals I then paired them with endangered species in order to understand and preserve them both.
