about the
artist
I am a 7th and 8th
Grade Art Teacher at Lewiston Middle School. I am also working on a
Masters degree in American and New England Studies with a concentration in
Museums and Public Culture. These aspects of my life shape and inspire my
artwork.
I work in a variety
of diverse media, including oil and encaustic painting, appliqué quilting,
printmaking, and paper mache sculpture. My subject matter ranges from the
beauty of the people, objects and places that make up my everyday life to
fanciful ideas from myths, legends and my own wild imagination.
My still life
paintings focus on the intriguing qualities of certain objects that for me
are evocative of larger situations and emotions. Objects take on a
character of their own through their use over time and their associations
with certain events. Capturing this essence gives still life painting a
surprising ability to communicate about the human condition.
