Face It

I make art because that is the only way life makes sense to me. A recurrent theme in my work is the face, semi-abstract, colorful and emotional. I don't choose to draw these faces, their forms just come to me. They jump off the page and stare at you. Dare to stare back. I'm a mixed media artist working in collage, drawing, painting, mask making. doll making, and wearable art. I am also a dancer, poet and videographer. I have tried to choose between mediums. I cannot. I feel fully engaged and alive when i'm creating. I'm a a maker of images more than a storyteller. My work is about being a woman and an outsider; it is both playful and haunting.
