Beauty and Loss
I grew up at my father’s butcher shop and living on my grandfather & uncle’s dairy farm. I have always felt very passionate about local agriculture, its importance to American culture, and its survival for future generations. I draw and paint what I know, and what I think is important to our society. When I’m not at work as a graphic designer, drawing, painting, or taking photos, I enjoy taking ballet lessons and hanging out with my husband, family, and corgis.
I display the destruction of nature and agriculture and its importance to American culture. My art depicts both Mother Nature and the local agriculturalist, along with the difficulties both face competing with the corporate man. Destruction of nature is represented by the omission of the environment; farm and forest animals are rendered on a white abyss. Counter to the removal of naturally occurring art, the pieces focusing on agricultural skills and trades, specifically butchery, bring to light these disappearing artisans. This catalog of endangered Americana is my attempt to remind us that what we have may not always be if it is cast aside.

My hope is that you enjoy this art from different viewing perspectives. Loving art and our environment as I do, I seek all the art elements in my treasure hunting adventures as I create upcycled collages. Most all involve my love of beads combined with old artifacts that may give comfort and whimsical joy in a new way. Favorite medias are glass, metal, clay, wood, and stone. Who knows what will spark an idea next for a hanging mobile or mosaic style wall piece? Maybe its 3D? Each piece is unique. Organic forms will prevail captured in the lines and shapes, light, and shadows, with a combination of handmade and found materials.
