For more than twenty years, I've been creating art that seeks to bring healing and change by examining what it means to be human.   My original poetry accompanied with paintings and innovative printmaking techniques have allowed me to explore human emotions of our time, and to capture human imperfections and strengths.

The fine vintage velvets and rare hand-loomed linens in See Us are innately tactile and relatable.   The fabrics move and mold themselves in the hands of the reader.  Even people who never or rarely work with paper will recognize the textures of fabric from their own experiences.  It was important to preserve the history and story behind each piece of fabric while creating new stories.  Please read more about the project in my blog.

Poetry for See Us
Doctors who crossed barbed wire borders
told me to write my story.  Perhaps if others knew
what was going on here I . . . we would get help.
Help.  Ease.  Alleviate.  Assuage.

I search for the right words with my limited 
vocabulary.  How do I say, "Take that 200lb
man off my 12 year old body without that 
gun breaking my front teeth?"

How can anyone undo the damage.
Fix all of these broken bodies.
Revive souls already in Psychopomp's arms.
Palliate.  Temper.  Diminish
