I make art to tell my history as a woman growing up in rural mid-America during the time 1940-1950s as I remember it.

I build Installations, Sculpture, Wearables, Collage and Paintings. My preferred materials are hair, found objects, beads, fabric, feminine products; followed by paper and oil paint.

My purpose is to embrace myself as a product of rural middle America, without apology, and with kindness. The person who confronts my work will, within a gaze, reconsider their attitude and understanding of rural America. I encourage the person who confronts my piece to shift their attitude towards the utilitarian nature and social currency that emerges of society in rural America.
