Artist Statement

I make art pieces using venetian plaster as my medium, focusing on pushing the boundaries of its traditional use as a decorative wall treatment. I like to play with the juxtapositions of incongruous textures, colors and shapes and am fascinated by the shimmer and energy that is invoked. The resulting imagery is mostly abstract and drawn from the found art of the everyday and the visual richness of my surroundings -- the power of the natural world as well as the complex patterns that emerge from the material world.

Aside from creating a wide variety of custom finishes, such as woodgraining and marbling to name a few, she has enriched her skills with courses in Gilding and decorative plaster finishes, and has studied Mosaics in Italy and at the Chicago Mosaic School. Her artwork is included in private collections, and she has shown in local exhibitions and in California.
