“Art is the only way to run away without leaving home”

—Twyla Tharp

I am a Washington, DC-based, mixed-media artist.

I use traditional encaustic (wax painting) methods combined with found objects, both manmade and from nature in my work.

I believe the connection between our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves can often be found in the things we overlook and discard. They are like keys or missing puzzle pieces. Art makes them, and us, whole.
