I paint murals, make lanterns and fashions, collages/paintings, junk-puppets, films and journals and books. I have a passion for mythology and research, dreams and psychology. I have shown in galleries in Oregon, California, Louisiana, and Illinois. I am now orchestrating my fifth fashion exhibition/event.

My work is community based and would bore me to death if it didn't involve collaborating. I have a knack for bringing unlikely people together for a project, and then love seeing their talent unfold.My mom says I've got an outgoing, exuberant personality.

Color therapy is important. I LOVE COLLAGE! Yummy texture; color; culture references; eye candy; sticky glue; big, abundant cans of paint; loud, angry, sexy power tools. I love urban exploration and junking. I have many strange collections displayed in clear plastic, in my studio: matchbooks, warnings, fortunes, string, trolls.
