The inspiration for my art comes from many sources - nature, birds, animals, and the juxtaposition of the spiritual and the material world. My great-grandmother was a painter of birds and my grandfather an ornithologist, which must explain my great affinity for all things avian. Collage and quilt making are similar processes which challenge me to create art from disparate materials. The layers and complexity of these mediums reflect the complexity of the world we live in, as well as the organic textures and cycles of nature, and the poetry of life.
