The creation of my art begins by collecting pieces of life by photographing nature, people, portals, textures, forms, and whatever catches my eye. Although these elements of time existed separately, they unite in a new synergy.  Compositions are created with the computer as my brush, manipulating in PhotoShop, and other software, and digitally layering the images.

 Art has always been part of who I am from an early age it was what made everything in life come together. My artworks have grown from realistic, to abstract figurative, to quite abstract as I have learned to bring my interest in the inner spaces of life to my artwork. I was developing mixed media works that brought many elements together, torching and tearing holes, healing the canvas with layers of fabric or pieces of nature, when I became involved with a new corporation. It required the use of various types of office equipment. While working on the computer and faxing documents, I began to see the potential of using these machines in my artwork. I realized that a fax machine could create a transparency that was similar to a graphic arts film. This could be used in the darkroom! This led to exploring the creation of art on the computer. I found that layering images had amazing possibilities not only in Adobe PhotoShop as well as other software, but physically with transparencies opened up a whole new world of expression.  

The imagery of my work is part of my exploration of the relationships of life and matter. My intention is to connect the pieces and share them with others. Digital imaging allows me the freedom to create other realities, new environments to stimulate the imagination of the viewer, bringing the artist and viewer together in shared communication.
