As a picture-maker, I  open myself to narratives that draw from a flood of information, assembling compositions which connect visual correspondences in a symbolic or metaphorical way.   I am inspired by diverse images and objects  that can reside anywhere from my own backyard to antique ephemera.  Religious iconography.  Traditional clothing and mathematical graphics. Historical tragedy, migrations, taking refuge and the sacred. The preparation of food. 
The probability of all being intertwined.  Genetic memory.

I generally work with materials such as wood, handmade paper, watercolor, and gouache.  Inspired by various folk art forms,  I often employ strong colors. I hope to create  a  harmonious tension through color relationships, resulting in a perceivable visual energy.

I currently reside and work in Velarde, New Mexico.
