Older Series
BUNDLES
The works in the Bundle Series are vessels, reliquaries of a sort that symbolically, and sometimes literally, hold and protect that which I find precious. Some of these things have found their way into the pieces – the bundles are filled with shredded ephemera. They are encased in a protective shell of encaustic, or made up of bits of old clothes, coffee bags, and fabrics.
Transformations
Encaustic paintings and paperworks.

Lamentations
I encapsulate my sorrows
I memorialize them.
Transformed, I move forward
from the past into the present
Scraps of old clothing, mementos of life experiences,
encased in wax
archived, safe.
Effigies
Mixed media freestanding figures.
Nexus
a suite of gelatin monotypes
