Magic from the mundane

My artwork is a lot like me: quirky, whimsical, a bit disjointed, and full of vintage pieces and parts! I love storytelling through photography and assemblage, building magical worlds to explore. My work includes:

- Surprises–unexpected angles and details, or the pairing of incongruous elements.

- Vintage items I’ve accumulated over the past 40 years. These objects carry history, unique craftsmanship, and reflections of usage and decay.

- Whimsical creations that entertain.

- Immersive worlds that invite.

Analyzing the world around me, capturing stories, and teaching others have been common threads throughout my life. Each role prepared me to face the next, often in surprising ways–from systems analyst to freelance writer, curriculum developer to refugee mentor, Emmy-winning producer to Alzheimer’s caregiver, visual artist to gallery curator.

I have exhibited regularly since 2019 throughout Northeast Ohio with acceptance and awards in a variety of galleries. I have also curated group and solo shows at the Jenks in Cuyahoga Falls, and Second April Studios in Canton.
