Discovering metal as a medium has provided more creative opportunities than I could ever imagine, and has been the most fullfilling years for me as an artist. 
I most enjoy combining my metal
pieces with clay and paint processes, which I
have utilized for years. Combining elements of color, shape and line provides further challenges in my multi-media artworks.
A theme I have always enjoyed in my "art making" is whimsy, thus my crazy characters evolved.
Hunting for various farm tools and parts across Nebraska allows me to create these playful people. They reflect my desire to enjoy life every minute and remember to laugh!
Working alongside many wonderful and
talented women at Metro Community College
has truly been a gift. It has not only provided me inspiration and feedback, but friendships that I will always cherish.
