This is one of my faves from 2024 that was done for a fundraiser for @gardencityarts #dahlias

This is “Flora per Capita” Mixed Media Collage on 12x12 cradled wood board.
All paper designs and painting are created by me, then cut or torn to make a collage.
SWKS Squared was a judged show last October with Amy Schmierbach of Hays, K

Second piece, of three, that is currently showing @gardencityarts in the SWKS Squared Exhibit. This is “Enough? Enough.” Mixed Media on, of course, a 12x12 cradled wood board.

The happiest🌻 of my new pieces, she looks straight at you, says, “I’m here”, and has no qualms about it

I am a full-time visual artist, workshop instructor, and Gallery Director at Garden City Arts. I build bold, textured abstract work using acrylics, mixed media, or oil and cold wax, stacking colors until layers expose something unexpected, pulling the whole piece together. Like the layers we all carry, each piece reflects something deeply human and sometimes humorous!

As Gallery Director, I work with artists across the region to bring their work into GCA's exhibits and gift gallery.

I am an active voice in the Garden City, Kansas art scene, showing in local and statewide exhibits.
