Artist Statement:

I am driven to create almost as surely as I need to breathe.

I have always been intrigued with the mind, the subconscious and symbols. I love to read, and have through my life indulged in reading books by Jung, Freud, Joseph Campbell, and Mother Goose, books about Philosophy, Universal Theories, Physics, History, Mythology, Theology and for the past decade primarily Conspiracy Theories, some of which are very true.

A fantasy world of creatures called the Freak Doody Heads has taken root in my sub-conscience and is emerging as a full blown universe with its own mythology through my art work.

I began customizing vinyl toys a decade and a half ago. This medium has allowed me to connect to my life-long love of toys in new ways as the creator instead of collector.

Skydiving turns up again and again in my artwork as a result of being submerged in the sport and lifestyle for nearly two decades. I retired from jumping out of airplanes in 2010 to be a full time artist, and soon after I became a full time mom instead. Now I'm both.

I have been a self selling representing artist since 2001. I currently live and work in amazing Colorado. My artwork can be seen in person at Commonwheel Artist Co-op in Manitou Springs, Colorado and in Colorado Creative Co-op in Old Colorado City.
