"I have not myself a very serene temperament." All of my work is based on nature. I grew up in a rural environment and living in the Bay Area allows for immediate access to wonderful natural environs. Basically nature is my Genus Loci, or the place where my spirit resides. I am inspired by many mediums and use them to express varied aspects of my philosophies and life observations. Personally I believe it is important for mankind to respect nature - for homeostasis - and I have volunteered with environmental organizations, I do not attempt to have an environmental leaning regarding my artwork. There is nothing enduring in life for a woman except what she builds in a man's heart. I may play demons, but I've never played a wimp!
