What I do...
Visual Art
As a visual artist I have a diverse practice. I create mosaics using glass, ceramic and porcelain tile as well as recycled broken pottery, river pebbles and found objects. I paint with encaustic paints, making some of my own paint from the beeswax from my partner's beehives. I create sculptural art and functional pieces in traditional and non-traditional ways.
Design
I have worked to bring my artistic life – my practice as a visual artist – into balance with my professional life as a digital media designer and director of web communication at a small, liberal arts university. When I work on design projects my goal is to deliver work that meets the needs of the client/audience and that incorporates good design principles.
Story
I write. Mostly I write in short bits - for my own enjoyment. Sometimes I write for others.
