I consider myself an Artist Alchemist. In other words, I am an artist who transforms or creates my pieces through a seemingly magical process. While my creative process and subject matter has changed over the past 22 years, a few things have remained consistent in my art. I always try and put a smile on your face with each piece, make it affordable, and create it so that owners will want to pass it down through many generations. Funky Folk Art can be a puzzling style, but once you see my work you will know exactly what it is. Colorful, eclectic, different and desirable come to mind. I also feel it is important for folks to know how important the creative process is for me as an artist. I really just love the process of creating my art, learning from my mistakes, and sharing with others. I am so fortunate that while creating my art, I have an opportunity to express my creativity, have a method for relaxation and time to spend in my own thoughts.

In my show, I will have over forty new pieces, which I have created in the past few years. Most have never been seen in the area. Visitors will see most all of my pieces fall in one of three types of mediums: Cut Paper Collages, Cut Can Collages or Mosaics, and Wood Assemblages. Much, but not all of my work is created from reclaimed and found objects. Most of my items are Wall Art with a few shelf pieces. A few things that are for certain, you will find my art has lots of color, detail and is eclectic. I look forward to the event and am very excited to have the opportunity to share my art with everyone at the wonderful gallery at the Prairie Arts Center.
