I have hummed along as an acupuncturist since 1992.  10 years ago, at age 50, I heard a higher octave calling me to deepen my creative life. I began a personal and rigorous drawing & painting practice, focusing largely on figurative work.  Lyrical lines combined with the alchemy of paint beguile me. My innate building of communities and the urgency of the climate crisis undergird all of my work.

My visual art practice intensified during the Covid crisis and my own health crisis— making art became my guiding force and tether.  This journey caught the interest of friends spurring me to write my book, 278 images layered with text across it's 200 pages. This book is deeply meaningful to me, documenting the forging of a new life.

I am currently cooking up my next book, an exploration of collective art sharing, picking up where Pulses leaves off.
