I’m delighted to exhibit new artwork in the Laurel Lane Gallery at Nemacolin. My solo exhibit, Palette/Palate has been extended through October 2023.

Here is a little about the work on display: My art practice consists of researching images and creating my own library of collage materials in a cyclical process of drawing and painting, cutting out and arranging. For this current body of work, I looked at images of shell shaped architectural moldings, tide pools, vintage and Art Deco jewelry, and still life painting. I experiment with a range of drawing and painting materials to create collages and add sculptural embellishments with air dry clay and acrylic paint peels. My process explores themes of transformation, play, and meditation.
