I work in a woodsy studio outside Columbia. My work speaks to disconnection from nature & the self. I exhibit internationally & enjoy travel,  I retired from USC in 2022–since, my interests in healing arts, native materials & diverse media grows.

Artist Statement

This work made from a natural and/or foraged materials. It represents a counterpoint to hardness, violence, sexism and racism through a celebration of the feminine, of nature and the body in the form of a soft garment.

Presented by the Jasper Project, The Degenerate Art Project II is the answer to an overwhelming request by artists and patrons of Jasper's inaugural Degenerate Art Project (July 2025) for an additional exhibition which will involve an open call for visual artists. This 3 week-long multidisciplinary arts event (Feb. 11–28 at Stormwater Studios) invites Midlands artists to respond to today's socio-political climate, and unite our local arts community—physically and in spirit—in support and solidarity during challenging times. Inspired by—and reclaiming—the legacy of the Nazi-labeled "Degenerate Art" of 1937, this project champions creative resistance and free expression through a visual art exhibition, featuring over 40 Midlands artists.
