“The natural world reflects the experience of being human. Through movement, pattern, disruption, dormancy, and regrowth, we see our inner selves and our interdependence with one another. I create paintings and mixed media reliefs that explore the connection between plant life and humanity. Artists Ruth Asawa and Louise Bourgeois inspire the pattern and irregularity in my work. My experience as a mother and breast cancer survivor draws me to the more delicate forms in nature and to how, like us, they gather, thrive, and regenerate.”
