Highlight for Album: Shadow Shift Series
Shadow Shift Series
The Shadow Shift Series is richly layered with tactile images and explores the interplay of shadows and shifts in depth. Textures add to the feeling that sand is shifting and moving with the action of waves on a rocky shore. Like shifting sand, the elements are ephemeral. Here and then gone a second later, leaving only a shimmer, a trace.

Highlight for Album: Quartets and Variations
Quartets and Variations
The pieces in Quartets and Variations range from tightly constructed quartets framed together to a wall of various sized images arranged in a seemingly random fashion. They interact as if in conversation or parts of a musical composition with rhythm and harmony. The images reference the landscape and nature.

Highlight for Album: MapScape 2005
MapScape 2005
Mapscape is part map, part landscape. Each of the 500 sheets of handmade paper in this installation is a world unto itself. The assembled grid forms another pattern, another map, another landscape, another world. The grid also suggests an aerial view of the land where landscape and map merge.

Highlight for Album: Solitude
Solitude
A series of drawings entitled, Solitude, are a response to a month-long residency, living and working alone in a cabin without electricity, surrounded by trees, mountains, and the colors of Southern California's high desert.

Highlight for Album: Gut Reaction 2002
Gut Reaction 2002
This series combines handmade paper and alternative photo processes to create sculptural casts of the female figure. Handmade paper is fragile yet deceptively strong, providing a metaphor for women’s lives. The recurring imagery of wings and cages point to the duality or tension in our experience. The wings represent the yearning to fly or freedom to choose. The cages refer to limitations, either self-imposed or external restraints. The cages are often of our own making and offer a sort of protection, but at what cost?
