Being an animal activist and feminist, my artwork flows from what moves me and from where I find beauty: women, animals, the earth, color, pattern, and light. My art represents the deep connection I feel with these elements. Through my artwork, I create a world as I would like it to be, where harmony exists between animals and humans, and where nature thrives. My work includes pen and ink drawings, papier-mâché sculptures, vessels, collages, abstracts in cold wax and oil, and 3-dimensional oil on canvas paintings featuring women and animals. These paintings test the boundaries of what a “painting” is. They are created on a free-form canvas and involve papier-mâché sculpture, beadwork, and mixed media. “Art is where I go for refuge, replenishing, and how I pay homage to what sustains me.”
