I am a visual and performing artist and co-owner of the Adelante! Gallery in the Historic Paseo Arts District with Jo Vanden. I began drawing as soon as I could hold a crayon & in college fell in love with photography. A move to California inspired me to experiment with mixed media creating photo emulsion transfers, silk painted portraits and jewelry making. However, photography continued to be my mainstay. My love of western landscapes, horses, big blue sky with lots of clouds, candid shots of children & my obsession with the Virgen de Guadalupe & Buddha shrines weave their way into my weekly photo shoots. Creating Photo image and emulsion transfers on watercolor paper and silk has evolved into small and large scale mixed media works of emulsion lifts on handmade, textured tiles, laid on fabric,framed or placed in handpainted boxes or nichos. I teache workshops in Polaroid transfers for adults & children nationally. In the summer I offer mixed media photography classes at the Oklahoma Museum of Art.

I love running my gallery, looking at really blue skies with puffy white clouds, soft pastels for landscape paintings

Kavetching, slow weeks in the gallery, too many days of rain.

Working on building my cabin, playing with my horses & ponies, singing spanish songs, hanging out in the bookstore with my partner
