For much of my life, creativity has been both a companion and a compass. Through seasons of joy, challenge, loss, and discovery, art has helped me make sense of the world and find meaning in the moments that shape us.

​

My journey as an artist has never followed a straight line. Like many creative lives, it has unfolded in layers, through experimentation, community, teaching, and the quiet hours spent in the studio where ideas slowly take shape. Over the years, I have explored mixed media, abstraction, and the powerful language of texture and color, allowing each piece to tell a story that often reaches beyond words.

​

Along the way, I also created spaces where creativity could be shared with others. One of the most meaningful chapters of my artistic life was building the Adret Collective, a studio and gallery that brought artists together in a spirit of collaboration and encouragement. Watching artists grow, supporting each other’s work, and opening our doors to the community became one of the great joys of that chapter. But like all creative journeys, life continues to evolve.

​

After experiencing profound personal loss and many changes in recent years, I found myself standing at a turning point, reflecting on what to carry forward and what new possibilities might be waiting ahead. ,Art once again became the guide.

​

Today my work explores what I like to call “The Art of Becoming.” It is the belief that we are always evolving, always discovering new parts of ourselves, and that creativity allows us to remain curious about who we are becoming next.

​

This new chapter includes a collaboration with fellow artists Judi Clark and Ellen Nordgren through Three Roads Studio, where we share our creative journeys and the stories behind our work. Together we are exploring the many ways art continues to shape our lives and invite others into the creative process.

​

In the studio I continue to experiment with mixed media, layering materials, color, and movement to create work that reflects resilience, transformation, and possibility.

​

Because art, like life, is never truly finished.

​

It is always becoming.
