Artist's Statement: As a self-taught artist, I create whimsical sculptural representations of people and animals in a folk art style. My work incorporates a wide variety of mixed media - paper, wood, botanicals, fabric, paint, plastic and found materials. My goal with every piece is to create a unique object that brings me as the artist and you as the viewer, a bit of joy.
About Me: I am a self-taught artist living in Madison, Wisconsin. Years ago, inspired by Outsider Artists, I began my art explorations with painted furniture, floor cloths and driftwood assemblages. In 2009, I began making Windflower Kinetic Garden Sculptures. The folk art sculptures that are the focus of my current work began in 2019. I am a juried member of both the 14 South Artists Group and the Madison Art Guild.
Giving Back: Civic involvement is important to me. After a long career in health care administration and marketing, I serve on the board of directors at Artworking, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides career development support for artists and entrepreneurs with disabilities. These artists and their unabashed energy are so inspiring to me. I am also on the board of the proposed Madison Public Market. Last, I founded and organize the annual Hill Farms Art Walk, where I encourage amateur and professional neighborhood artists to share their work. The May 2024 Art Walk hosted 36 artists in 18 locations.
