MY PROCESS…

“Keeping the work fresh & exciting keeps me wanting to get back to the studio!”

Her process begins freely and intuitively, using acrylic paint and other media, creating layers and depth, until something begins to take shape, then she goes toward it. Besides paint, she uses various forms of collage, mostly hand made, to provide interest and texture in her work. 

“Listening to what moves me--my Indigenous background, my personal life experience and being aware of what excites me are all instrumental in creating my unique and evolving artwork.”

I work in multiples, usually a minimum of three to four paintings, depending on the size. I start on one, working on it until I get it to a place that I’m satisfied with then I move onto the next one, and so on. As Nicholas Wilton says, “It’s like raising children—you want to give them each equal attention!”
