Collection: Finding My Way In An Uncertain World

As a female artist, who went back to get my degree in my forties, I have had to find my way, and it hasn't been easy.

I returned to university in the fall semester of 2017, and like many women in this country, I was experiencing high levels of anxiety. I was nervous going back to school at my age. I was nervous about being accepted at my age, just like every other student, and I was reeling from an election experience that honestly scared the shit out of me as a woman, a single mother and an artist. 

At that time, I was trying to deal with GAD and PTSD from years of trauma. My work reflected that, as did the pushback I got from my white, male instructors. In spite of this I persevered...and progressed. And so did my work. 

This is some of the work I am most proud of, even if it has caused a bit of pushback when I have displayed it. 

This work uses black and white, dark and light and the contrast between the two as it examines the darkness found in the most unsuspecting of places - our fellow humans.

Anxiety In The Age Of Alternate Facts was an exploration of the human element using both light and the absence of it to show how felt for me to live in that world at that time. 

A House Divided explores the darkness in human nature and those whose light shines from within using contrasts of black and white and the power of words.
